Cliday is English in Origin.

Cliday is an extremely rare modern English given name, likely a creative blend. Many interpret it as combining Clyde - ultimately from the Scottish Gaelic Cluaidh, the river name often linked with ideas of cleansing or flowing - and the Old English day (dæg), meaning daylight or a period of time. Read as such, Cliday evokes “bright day by the river” or “fresh, flowing day,” giving it a nature-tinged, optimistic feel. Some also see it as a respelled pet form of Clyde or Clida, but a single, settled etymology has not been established.

Usage has been sparse, with no long-standing traditional bearers; it functions readily as a unisex choice. Spelling variants and near-forms include Clyday, Clidey, Clydae, and Clidae; related names are Clyde, Clay, and Day. Possible nicknames include Cli/Clie, Cly, Clay, and Day. Reported pronunciations vary, most commonly KLY-day or KLEE-day.
