Clodagh is Irish in Origin.
Clodagh is an Irish feminine given name taken from the River Clodiagh, which runs through County Waterford (and also appears in Offaly). Bestowed in the late 19th century by the Marquess of Waterford on his daughter Lady Clodagh Anson, it entered use as a personal name among Anglo-Irish families and then spread across Ireland. The name carries the sense "from the River Clodiagh," with the river’s older etymology uncertain; it is usually pronounced KLOH-da.
In the 20th century Clodagh became well established in Ireland while remaining uncommon elsewhere, partly due to its distinctly Irish spelling. Notable bearers include singer Clodagh Rodgers and chef Clodagh McKenna. Standard form is Clodagh; occasional variants include Clodiagh (by analogy with the river) and the short form Cloda, with pet names Clo or Clodie. It is unrelated to the separate Irish mythological name Clíodhna/Clíona.
