Radclithe is English in Origin.

A rare modern respelling within the Radcliffe family of names, Radclithe derives ultimately from Old English rēad ("red") + clif ("cliff, bank, steep slope"), denoting a settlement by a red-colored escarpment. The element pair appears in multiple English place-names (e.g., Radcliffe in Lancashire and Nottinghamshire), and medieval records show variant endings (-clif, -clive, -clyf); Radclithe taps that historical variance while giving the name a distinctive, contemporary twist.

Used as a hereditary surname in England from the 12th century onward, the Radcliffe forms later migrated into given-name use, especially in the 19th–21st centuries with the rise of surname-as-first-name trends. Meaning "red cliff" or "dweller by the red slope," Radclithe is uncommon and largely unisex. Related variants include Radcliffe, Radcliff, Radclyffe, Radclyfe, and Redcliffe; short forms and nicknames include Rad, Raddie, and Cliff.
