Re: Clemence or Clementine?
in reply to a message by Beatrix
I prefer Clementine to Clemence, but they're both nice. Susannah Clementine is lovely.
Also, Clementine is a type of orange, but Clementine (and Clemence, too) are derived from Clemens, which in Latin means "merciful." (Think of the word, Clemency.) So really, they both mean the same thing.
