What is the meaning of the name Clarrie ?

Clarrie is English in Origin.

Clarrie is a cheerful diminutive chiefly formed from the Clara/Clare/Clarice/Clarissa family, all rooted in Latin clarus, meaning "clear, bright, famous." In English it also abbreviates Clarence; while Clarence arose as a noble title rather than from clarus, modern name usage often carries over the "bright/renowned" sense by association. As such, Clarrie functions as a unisex pet form and, increasingly, an independent given name.

The nickname flourished in Britain and the Commonwealth from the late 19th through mid-20th centuries, with particular warmth in Australia and New Zealand; notable bearers include cricketer Clarrie Grimmett and politician Clarrie Millar. Variant spellings and cousins include Clarry, Clary, Clarie; related formal options are Clare, Claire, Clara, Clarice, Clarissa, and Clarence. Today Clarrie fits the vintage-nickname trend alongside Alfie and Millie, offering an amiable, down-to-earth sound with luminous meaning and long pedigree.
