Cloony Origin and Meaning

The name Cloony is a boy's name.

Cloony is a masculine name with Irish Gaelic origins, likely derived from the Gaelic 'cluain' meaning 'meadow' or 'pasture'. It may have originally been a place name or surname before occasionally appearing as a given name. The name shares similarities with the more recognized surname Clooney (famously borne by actor George Clooney), which comes from the same root.

Parents might choose it for its Irish roots, its pleasant pastoral associations, or its uniqueness while still being relatively easy to pronounce.
