origin of my name
Was wondering if you be willing to help me find the origin of my first name "Clu." I have been told that it may be Danish or Irish. I have been unable to find any information on this name. It is a male name and may even have been a last name originally. There are several other people in the U.S. and Canada with this name, and as far as I can tell, they are all males.Would appreciate your assistance or suggestions in this regard.Sincerely,Clu Tamlin

Hi Clu!Clu isn't Danish for sure. Irish sounds more likely. There are two Welsh names I found: Clud and Clust, but I don't know the meanings. Maybe Merriment can help? And I found this Celtic name: Cluny meaning "meadow"...Regards, Satu

not a clue....(m)Sorry :).But seriously, it's probably from a surname (if it's English in origin), and the best bet is Clough (cluff) also found in the form Clue/Clew, and meaning 'dweller in a steep-sided valley or ravine'.
