This suggests that the earliest known bearers of the surname may have been associated with a religious order or had a close connection to the clergy.
Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the surname underwent various changes, eventually evolving into the anglicized form "Clayhills." It is common for surnames to experience alterations as they transition from one language to another, and this is evident in the case of Clayhills.
