The surname Clephan or Clephane, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. One theory suggests that the name originated from the Gaelic surname "Mac Gille Pádraig," meaning "son of the servant of St. Patrick." Over time, this name evolved and eventually became Clephan or Clephane. Another theory suggests that the name may have derived from the Irish surname "Mac Giolla Phádraig," meaning "son of the servant of Patrick."
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced significant political and social changes, including the Norman invasion in the 12th century. This invasion introduced Anglo-Norman influences and resulted in the adoption of Norman surnames by the Irish population, including the surname Clephan or Clephane.
