Clydell is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of Scottish origin. It is derived from the place name 'Cluden', which means 'clear stream' in Gaelic. The name Clydell was particularly popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become less common.
The name Clydell saw a peak in popularity between 1932 and 1935, with the highest number of births in 1935 at nine. However, it remained relatively uncommon overall, with only 83 total births recorded between 1919 and 1950.
