Name Meaning
English (South Midlands and Oxfordshire): from Middle English clevere ‘one who cleaves’ (a derivative of Old English clēofan ‘to split’), hence an occupational name for someone who split wood into planks using a wedge rather than a saw, or possibly for a butcher. Alternatively, on occasion possibly a topographic name from Middle English cleve ‘bank, slope’ (from the dative of Old English clif) + the suffix -er, denoting an inhabitant.
Americanized form of German and Dutch Klever , and perhaps also of German Kliewer .
