The surname Clive or Cleve, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that spans centuries. It originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Giolla Eoin," meaning "son of the servant of St. John." This name was Anglicized to MacLeve, MacClive, or simply Clive over time.
The Clive surname can be traced back to the County Down in Northern Ireland. It is believed that the Clive family were originally associated with the ancient Gaelic kingdom of Ulaidh, which covered parts of present-day Northern Ireland. Over time, they spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Tyrone and County Armagh.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish families with the Clive surname migrated to other countries, particularly Scotland and the United States, due to political and economic reasons. They brought their name and Irish heritage with them, adding to the Irish diaspora in these new lands.
Today, descendants of the Clive or Cleve surname can be found in various parts of the world, including Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They carry with them a rich history and a connection to their Irish roots.
