覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
人名では Clare と語頭を大文字にし、女性名「クレア」を表します。同じ発音の Claire という綴りもあるため、名簿や宛名では綴りを確認します。ラテン語 clarus「明るい、名高い」と clear、clarity のつながりを手掛かりにすると記憶しやすくなります。
Remember Clare as a personal name, so write it with a capital C. Its historical connection with Latin clarus, meaning “bright” or “famous,” provides a reliable link to familiar English words such as clear and clarity. Clare is pronounced like Claire, but the spelling is different; on class lists, invitations, and email addresses, that distinction matters. Associate the form Clare with St. Clare of Assisi, whose name helped establish this version in European naming traditions.
