Name Meaning
English: habitational name from Scout in Northowram (Yorkshire), recorded as Staynclif in 1309 and Stancliff Skoute (the home of Edward Stankliff) in 1536. The placename derives from Old English stān ‘stone, rock’, with influence from Old Norse steinn ‘stone, rock’, + Old English clif ‘cliff, bank’, later with Middle English scoute ‘projecting cliff, overhanging rock’ (Old Norse skúti). No evidence has been found to link the modern surname with other Yorkshire places similarly named.
