Parents who want to take a leap of faith when it comes to picking a baby’s name might love Wycliff! Wycliff is a masculine name of Old English origin, which means “white cliff” or “dweller at the white cliff.” Possibly referencing Wyecliff in Country Durham in England, or a geographical location that features impressive white-faced cliffs, this name feels like it fits on both sides of the pond. Various alternative spellings of this name may be more well-known—due to the likes of rapper Wyclef Jean or philosopher John Wycliffe—but your little daredevil will show everyone why their name deserves all the attention.
