Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname derived from the regional name for the district around Middlesbrough, so named from Old English clif ‘bank, slope’ (genitive clifa) + land ‘land’. Grover Cleveland (1837–1908) was the 22nd and 24th president of the U.S.; Cleveland is also the name of a city in Ohio: both of these may be factors influencing its use as a given name in the U.S.
