Origin: Scottish

Meaning: From River Clyde; Cleansing

The masculine name Clyde has origins in Scotland and for good reason. The River Clyde flows through Glasgow and goes through the blood of all of those with Scottish heritage, too. But as well as tying in your highlander blood, this name also has Latin connections, meaning "cleansing" and can match baby's pure heart. With the name most notably connected to the duo Bonnie and Clyde, however, don’t be surprised if this little boy gets up to some mischief!
