English word name

"intelligent"

Clever Origin and Meaning

The name Clever is a girl's name meaning "intelligent".

There are lots of ways to be clever: emotionally, academically, creatively, humorously, and so on, though many will associate the word to someone being highly skilled, quick to understand, and good in school. Used (quietly) for boys since the early 2000s, it first appeared in the US stats for girls in 2024.

While it is similar enough in sound to Clover, Clara, Ever, and Eva that it might fit in, a more subtle nod to your baby's intelligence might be easier to wear. Sage, Veda, Athena, Minerva, Sophie (and variants), and Dana are a few options.
