The name means 'nail wright' or 'maker of nails' and apparently this was the profession of the original family prior to the period of 'nobility'. (We have no information as to how the family rose to this position.) This spelling should not be confused with Clore, which is an entirely different family and is Scottish in origin having been spelled McClore before being 'Americanized.' Our information suggests that the Cloers came to this country during the French revolution to escape religious persecution.
