The Cleare surname is of Irish origin, derived from the Gaelic name Ó Cléirigh, which means descendant of the scribe or clerk. The family has a long and prestigious history dating back to medieval Ireland.
The Cleare family was part of the Irish nobility and held a family seat in County Clare, a region in the western part of Ireland, where they were granted lands by Strongbow after his invasion of Ireland in 1172. The family was well-known for its hereditary historians and record keepers to the ruling families. The most notable of these was Mícheál Ó Cléirigh, who led the compilation of the 'Annals of the Four Masters', one of the most important sources of early Irish history.
However, following the brutal English conquest of Ireland in the 17th century, the Cleare family, like many other Irish clans, suffered land confiscations, repression, and poverty. Many members of the family emigrated to the New World, especially to America and Australia, in the 18th and 19th centuries during the Great Famine.
Despite these hardships, the Cleare family has continued to maintain a proud and resilient lineage that has left a significant mark on the history of Ireland and the countries they migrated to.
