Radclith is English in Origin.

Radclith is an English toponymic name rooted in Old English rēad (“red”) and clif/clið (“cliff, bank, slope”), yielding the sense “red cliff” or “red riverbank.” The spelling with -lith reflects northern dialectal clith “rocky slope” and mirrors medieval spellings such as Radeclive. It ultimately denotes someone who lived by a reddish escarpment, as seen in several English place-names called Radcliffe.

As a surname, Radclith/Radcliffe appears in medieval records and became prominent via the Radcliffe family, later Earls of Sussex and Derwentwater. It has been used as a transferred given name in English-speaking countries since the 19th century, though it remains rare and now reads as unisex. Variants include Radcliffe, Radcliff, Radclyffe, Ratcliffe, and Ratcliff; short forms are Rad and Cliff. Literary echoes come from Ann Radcliffe and Radclyffe Hall, lending the name a refined, slightly Gothic aura.
