Claiborne

Claiborne is a masculine name of French, German, and Old English origin. The meaning of this name is "boundary with clover" or "boundary of clay." As well as being a given name, it is also a surname that dates all the way back to the early 1100s Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name may be most known from Senator Claiborne Pell, who was admired and recognized for his honorable work in education legislation. Claiborne as a given name has been around since before the 1800s and has taken on multiple adaptations, such as the lovely name Clayton or Clay.
