Clinton

Clinton is a masculine name with close links to Glympton, a village in Oxfordshire, England. This settlement was so named for its proximity to the River Glyme, directly translating to “settlement on the River Glyme.” The River Glyme’s name stems from an old Celtic word meaning "bright stream," so if baby Clinton grows up to love the water, you’ll know why! Clinton may also be a shortened form of Mcclinton, the Anglicized version of the Irish and Scottish last name Mac Giolla Fhionntáin, meaning “son of the servant of Saint Fionntan.” Famous in many spheres, from presidential seats to the big screen, Clinton is a fitting appellation for a sharp mind with an unlimited imagination.
