Name Meaning
English: habitational name, in southern England perhaps an irregular development of Cleveley (Oxforshire), or from a lost place, perhaps in Hampshire, named from Old English clæfre ‘clover’ + lēah ‘wood, clearing’. In northern England probably from Claverley in Shropshire, named from the same elements, or possibly from Cleveley in Lancashire (named with Old English clif ‘bank, slope’ + lēah), with intrusive -r- under the influence of cleverly. The overall pattern suggests that the southern origin is the dominant one.
