Clynton is a distinctive and unique given name of American origin. It is derived from an English surname that was originally a variant spelling of Clinton, which itself evolved from the Anglo-Norman French word 'Clinton', meaning 'from the settlement on the cliff'. The name Clynton has been used sparingly over time but offers a compelling alternative to its more popular counterpart.
"Clynton experienced its most active periods of newborns in three waves: in 1931 and again in 1984 with five births each, followed by another peak in 1991 with five more babies. In total, fifteen children were welcomed into the world over those three years."
