Clodagh Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation
Clodagh means named for a river. From the River Clodagh in Tipperary, from Irish Clóda
Clodagh is an Irish name that was first used in the early twentieth century and takes its form from the River Clodagh in County Tipperary and County Waterford. The river name itself is old, with its precise meaning uncertain. The Marquess of Waterford's family used the name for a daughter, and it spread from there. The ending dagh has a silent gh, which can confuse non-Irish speakers. It is an uncommon choice abroad but familiar in Ireland, appealing to parents who want a name tied to a particular landscape and with a slightly vintage feel.
