Cloda is Irish in Origin.
Cloda is an Irish feminine name, a streamlined spelling of Clodagh (pronounced KLOH-dah), which takes its identity from the River Clodagh/Clodaigh in County Waterford. The form Cloda reflects the usual pronunciation and appears in modern records as a lighter, international-friendly variant while keeping the same geographic roots and lyrical sound.
Use of the name traces to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Anglo-Irish Beresford family popularized Clodagh after the river that ran through their estate; from there it spread across Ireland and later to Britain, Australia, and North America through the Irish diaspora. The river's name has uncertain etymology, possibly linked to Irish clodach "stony, muddy," so Cloda is often interpreted simply as "from the River Clodagh." Variants and nicknames include Clodagh, Clodah, Clo, and occasionally Clóda.
