Clegg is of English origin, derived from the Middle English word 'clagge', which referred to mud or clay. It was originally a surname given to someone who lived near marshy ground or worked in the clay industry. In some cases, Clegg may also have been a pet form of the given name Clarice. Over time, it has evolved into a unisex first name. The name Clegg is associated with simplicity and earthiness, reflecting its roots in nature.
"In 1916, there were five babies named Clegg."
