The New Orleans bluesman, Clarence "Frogman" Henry and singer-songwiter Clarence Carter from Alabama both bear this name. So did the multi-instrumentalist from Texas and Louisiana, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown.
Clarence William Delgado commonly known and familiar as Clarence, Filipino child actor. He was discovered by Star Circle Quest 2011 where he came out as The Male Winner. He is part of the gag show Goin Bulilit and he's also part of Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes movie entitled Way Back Home.
This name always reminds me of Clarence, the blue hand puppet in the old MTV show "Wonder Showzen". "Wonder Showzen" is a show for adults that parodizes children's programming. In his skits, Clarence goes around annoying random people on the street... and in my opinion, it's pretty funny. :) haha.
The late 19th century rise in popularity for this name was probably due to Queen Victoria's elder grandson, prince Albert Victor (1864-1892), duke of Clarence and Avondale.
