Clare is also used as a masculine given name in English (as an English form of Clarus), alongside Clair. However, Clare is more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine"; and the "Meaning & History" section of this name should be updated to read, "Medieval English form of Clara or Clarus. This is also the name of an Irish county, which was itself probably derived from Irish clár meaning 'plank, level surface'". Some evidence for this can be seen on the Popularity Chart for Clare for the United States. For more information, please see the comment down below by the user @LionB3.
