The first three are named with Old English clopp(a) ‘lump, hillock’ + hām ‘homestead’ or hamm ‘enclosure hemmed in by water’, while the Yorkshire placename is formed with an Old English word clæpe ‘noisy stream’. The Devon placename is early recorded as Clopton, formed with clopp(a) ‘lump, hillock’ + tūn ‘farmstead’.
