'''L'Abergement-Clémenciat' (; ) is a commune in the department of Ain and the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in eastern Metropolitan France. The commune was established in 1857 by combining the two parishes of Abergement and Clémenciat.
==Etymology== The name L’Abergement‑Clémenciat reflects the historical combination of two distinct localities. The term Abergement originates from a medieval French word referring to a parcel of land granted to settlers under specific obligations, often in the context of land reclamation or clearing for agriculture. Clémenciat derives from the Latin personal name Clemens'', with the suffix -acum indicating a domain or property associated with an individual. The two settlements existed separately for centuries before their official merger in 1857, which created the modern commune and combined both historical names.
