Cloverly

/KLOH · ver · lee/


“Possibly clover meadow”

A compound of the English word 'clover' (from Old English clāfre, earlier clǣfre, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *klaibrā) and the English place-name suffix '-ly', a variant of '-leigh' (from Old English lēah, meaning 'meadow, pasture, field, clearing'). Possibly originally a place name meaning 'clover meadow' before being adopted as a given name.
