Clazie surprise

For anyone following the Clazie saga: new information, from France!

A death was recorded in 1749 at Habloville, in Normandy:

Certificate of Death / Burial
Commune:  Habloville
Departement:  Orne   
Deceased:
   Name:  CLEZIE Pierre
   Date of event:  15 March 1749
   Sex:  Male
   Age:  9 months
   Comment:  From the parish of Bonne Nouvelle in the diocese of Paris, being nursed in the home of Antoine D.
Parents:
   Father:  CLEZIE Henry, occupation: Marbler
   Mother:  NICOLLE Marguerite
Witnesses:  
   Witness 1:  BOULLET Nicolas
   Witness 2:  AUBERT Jacques


My great-grandfather was born at Hutton in 1787, christened George Clezie, and used that spelling throughout his life.  Clezie was an accepted version, alongside Clazey, Clazie, Clazy & Clezy.

How to now explain the same name in France, in 1749?  A French name in Scotland?  Or Scottish name in France?
