Name[]

  • Claire is the French form of Clara, which itself is the feminine form of the Late Latin name Clarus which meant "clear, bright, famous".[5][6]
  • Hope as a name comes from the English word hope, meaning "the belief or expectation that something wished for can or will happen".[7]
  • Fraser may be derived from Fredarius, Fresel or Freseau. The earliest recorded versions of the name, from the 12th century, are de Fresel, de Friselle and de Freseliere, which appear to be Norman.[28] Another suggestion is that the Frasers were a tribe in Roman Gaul, whose badge was a strawberry plant.[29]
