Cloda is an ancient female given name of British origin, derived from the Old Welsh word "clod" which means "fame". It was popular during the Middle Ages and is believed to have been introduced into England by the Normans after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The name Cloda is often found in old documents as a personal name, particularly in areas where there was significant Welsh influence such as Cornwall and Wales. However, its usage has declined over time and it is now considered quite rare. There are no modern variations of the name Cloda, but some people with this name may use nicknames like Clo or Claude.
