Clyde Origin and Meaning
The name Clyde is a girl's name.
The name of a Scottish river and half of the infamous outlaw duo —Bonnie and Clyde— the name has predominantly been used on boys, however, between 1880 and 1932, it also ranked in the charts for girls in the US, peaking in 1890 when it reached #366 on the charts.
Sleek but jazzy, Clyde is on the rise again as a masculine name, though it has yet to catch on again for girls. Stylistically, it feels like it could fit in with Sloane, Greer, or Kit.
