The name Clovelly is a girl's name meaning "ravine under the mill".

Combining the sounds of familiar Ellie with the spark of contemporary Clover, Clovelly has a hint of Everly, Chloe, and Romilly about it too. Currently a very rare choice, and likely to remain so for now.

 The name comes from a picturesque sea-side town in Devon, England, an unusual place, in that it was once owned by William the Conqueror and remains privately owned today, meaning you have to pay to visit. The meaning of Clovelly is contested, with some sources linking it to the surnames "Cloverley'" or "Claville" (meaning "meadow of clover" and "keystone of an arch, or wooden beam"), while others suggest it is more likely to mean "ravine under the mill", probably in reference to the hollow in which the village sits.
