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.

Clovelly

With Clover rising up the charts, and Everly, Emberly, Waverly and Oakley on trend, it is possibly that this English surname may catch on, especially with its whimsical meaning.

A last name as a first name that also has the feel of nicknames like Callie, Tully, Tally and Tilly, Cully could derive from an anglicized form of the Irish surname Ó Colla. 
 Meaning "descendent of Colla", Colla being a form of Connla, meaning "wolf or hound warrior", Cully's meaning may well appeal to those who want a softer sounding and playful name but with a strong meaning. 
The name might also come from the surname Cullen, which from its Irish roots would mean "holly" or "dog, whelp, puppy" via Cuileann or Coileán respectively. From its English roots however, it relates to either the city of Cologne, in turn derived from the Latin word for colony, or to the village of Cully in Switzerland. Alternatively, from its Scottish origins, it relates to Callum, from the Latin Columba, meaning "dove". Archaically, Cully referred to someone who is gullible or easily duped, but colloquially, it might be used to refer to male companion, along the lines of a buddy or a pal. In the British TV show and book series, Midsomer Murders, there was a (female) character called Cully.
