Leclerc is a French surname derived from the occupational name “clerk” or “scribe.” It was commonly used in medieval times to refer to someone who could read and write, particularly in a religious or legal context. Today, the surname Leclerc is fairly common in France and can be found around the world due to French emigration. Famous Leclercs include French racing driver Charles Leclerc and Canadian ice hockey player Guy Leclerc.
