Etymology
'Slope where golden flowers grow,' OE gold-ōra. There has been some confusion with ōfer in the second element. Alexander (81) suggests that the forms Cloore and Geldore 1278–9 RH are due to confusion of the vowels in the names of Clare and Golder. The two places are generally mentioned together in early documents.
