The surname Clifford is of Anglo-Norman origin and has a long and fascinating history, particularly in Ireland. The name derives from the Old English word clif meaning cliff and ford meaning ford or river crossing, indicating that the early bearers of this name likely resided near a cliffside or a ford.

The first recorded instance of the surname Clifford can be traced back to Walter de Clifford, a Norman knight who arrived in England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. He later accompanied Strongbow, the Anglo-Norman conqueror of Ireland, and took part in the invasion of Ireland in the late 12th century. The Cliffords established themselves as a powerful Norman family and held significant land and titles in both England and Ireland.

Over the centuries, the Cliffords became prominent figures in Irish history, often involved in military and political affairs. The family's influence expanded further when they intermarried with influential Irish noble families, such as the Butlers and the Fitzgeralds. Their descendants held various titles, including Earls of Waterford, Barons of Rossmore, and Viscounts of Kilkenny.

Despite their Norman origin, the Cliffords assimilated into Irish culture and society, adopting Gaelic customs and traditions. Today, many individuals with the surname Clifford proudly proclaim their Irish heritage, carrying on the rich history of this renowned family.
