There really isn't one since there were no clerks in this time. People grew and sold what they grew or made. The items went to the manor or local market.

There were clerks in the Medieval period. They did much the same job as today, checked material costs, wages, and kept accounts usually for nobility. For proof of this look no further than Chaucer's "Clerk's Tale" from the Canterbury Tales.

Clerk was the common word used although I've seen the name clark used.

There wasn't a "clerk" in a store or a "clerk" who worked in an office because neither of those things existed. People made or grew what they sold so they didn't need a "clerk" for a store. There were no "offices" in the middle ages and people couldn't read or write. The closest person to a clerk would be a scribe. The scribe could write letters or documents for people for a price. So, to answer your question there was no title for a medieval clerk.
