Clydell saw modest usage in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in Southern states, but has remained uncommon overall. It carries a vintage charm that might appeal to parents looking for a name with traditional roots but limited contemporary usage. The name suggests dependability and strength with its solid phonetic structure.
