Old photograph of a cottage and people on Clarks Lane in Aberdeen, Scotland. The surname Clark comes from one of the family having worked as a person who concerned himself with matters of scholarly importance or of religious orders or as a secretary. The surname Clark originally derived from the Latin form clericus. Even today, the word and profession clerk is typically pronounced clark throughout the United Kingdom. The name may have been Norman in origin, having descended from the name Le Clerc and generally means " a learned person " that is, one who could in old times read and write.
