Klyde
Meaning of Klyde
Klyde is a modern variant of the traditional Scottish name Clyde, originally denoting the storied River Clyde in western Scotland. Pronounced KLIED (/klaɪd/), it has maintained a modest but steady presence in the United States, with annual birth counts ranging from 18 to 31 and a rank typically in the high 800s and low 900s since 2018. This spelling variation offers an Anglo-American take on heritage, blending familiarity with an offbeat twist that appeals to parents seeking balance between comfort and distinction. It doesn’t vie for the spotlight, yet remains memorable in any playground roll call. Its consistent appearance on name lists suggests a quietly confident choice—one that honors tradition without feeling conventional.
