In all the world, Clarke (Clarke 
, كلارك 
, クラーク 
, among others...) is quite a rare largely male, but seldom girly given name. The forename Clarke is characteristic of Jamaica, where it is quite a rare unisex name, Canada, where it is a rare boy's name, and the United States. In absolute terms, it is commonest in the United States, Nigeria, and Canada. Much more frequently, Clarke is the last name as well as the forename.
Clarke is also a prevalent name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Superman , the superhero appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, Justice League; Clarke Griffin , the fictional character from The CW's TV series The 100; Chris Redfield , the character in the Resident Evil series of video games, Resident Evil: Afterlife; Clark Kent , the fictional character from Smallville and Chris Griffin , the fictional character from the Family Guy franchise, and in many other works.
