Indian as in American Indian or Asian Indian?It could be related to the Spanish/Basque name Maite (follow the hyperlink for details).If you don't have any luck here, you could try the sister-site of this one: http://surnames.behindthename.com/:-)

I've never heard of this name, but it looks a bit German to me. It may have something to do with the German word "klar" (clear) or else with the Italian name Clara (which is the same).
I even found a possible connection with Hilarius.Andy ;—)

Woodard (or Huddart) is an old English surname from the two elements Eold English "wudu" (wood) and "hierde" (herd). So the meaning would be "one who tends animals feeding in an wood" (probably a swineherd). (Taken from: Oxford, A Dictionary of English Surnames, 1997).Good luck!
