Origins of Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The surname Clendon has English and potentially Scottish roots, with the most likely origin being a place name from England, specifically from Glendon in Northants<\/a>, which was recorded as Clendon in the Domesday Book<\/a>. The name is believed to have derived from the Old English elements cl\u01e3ne (clean\/clear) and dun (hill), suggesting a location near a clear or prominent hill<\/mark>. Another interpretation suggests it could be a place name referring to a valley or riverbank<\/a> in English or Scottish geography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
