What does the Name Clarkson mean?

Answer 1

Clark is a Germanic-English name in origin, from "clerk" (which is still spelled "clerk" and pronounced "clark" in some British accents). This comes from "cleric", another word for "priest", hence why typing/copying work is still often called "clerical work"; this comes from the time when the clergy were the only reliably literate group around.

As such, there isn't really a Spanish cognate for the name "Clark", but "Cura" ("care", in the sense of devotion, another word for "priest") would probably come closest.
