Clint is English in Origin.
Clint is an English given name with dual roots. As an independent surname-derived forename, it comes from northern English place-names like Clint (North Yorkshire), built on Old Norse/Danish klint, meaning “rocky hillside” or “cliff.” It also serves as the familiar short form of Clinton, an English surname from the Oxfordshire place Glympton, interpreted as “settlement on the River Glyme” or “estate by the Glyme.” Either path gives Clint a rugged, topographic sense.
Found in Britain and the United States by the 19th century, Clint rose sharply in mid-20th-century America, helped by Western star and director Clint Eastwood, later reinforced by figures such as singer Clint Black and footballer Clint Dempsey. Usage peaked in the 1970s–80s and has declined since, lending it a vintage-cowboy vibe today. Variants and related forms include Clinton (formal), Klint (rare spelling influenced by Scandinavian usage), and diminutives like Clinty.
