Clyde
[klaɪd]Meaning
from the River Clyde in Scotland, from Cumbric Clud, of uncertain origin
Background Story
Clyde comes from the name of the River Clyde in Scotland, from Cumbric Clud, or Scottish Gaelic Cluaidh, a word of uncertain origin. It became a common given name in America in the middle of the 19th century, perhaps in honour of Colin Campbell, who was given the title Baron Clyde in 1858. As a Scottish surname it originally denoted people who lived on the banks of the River Clyde, which flows through Glasgow. In Cebuano it derives from the English name and is often used humorously as an anglicization of Claudio.
