Clevett Vad efternamn betyder
of uncertain origin; perhaps from a local topographical expression or place-name whose Middle English form was *clif-yat ‘cliff gap or gate’ (i.e. one affording access to the shore). Both words are found in Sussex as in le Cliffe gate in Rottingdean in 1604 but no single place-name source has been identified.
