Clifford

Clifford is a masculine given name of English origin, from a place name meaning "ford by a cliff." It was common in the mid-20th century but has declined since.

For many, Clifford now evokes Clifford the Big Red Dog, the children's book character: My nephew wants a Clifford birthday party.
