Clyffton
Clyffton Origin and Meaning
Clyffton is a masculine name that represents a distinctive spelling variation of Clifton, which originated as an English surname meaning 'settlement near a cliff' or 'town on a cliff.' The unique spelling with double 'f' and 'y' instead of 'i' gives the name a more striking, unconventional appearance while maintaining the strong sound of the original. Clifton as a given name gained modest popularity in the early 20th century, with this variant being considerably rarer. The name conveys images of strength, stability, and natural grandeur. It has a dignified, somewhat aristocratic quality that balances traditional masculine naming conventions with a touch of uniqueness. The name might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive alternative to more common names like Clifford or Clayton.
