Clodagh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clodagh (/ˈkldə/ KLOH-də) is a female given name of Irish origin.[1] Lady Clodagh Anson, daughter of John Beresford, 5th Marquess of Waterford, was named after the River Clodiagh, which flows through the Marquess's estate at Curraghmore at County Waterford.[2] Lady Clodagh married Claud Anson, son of Thomas Anson, 2nd Earl of Lichfield, and had a daughter who later wrote, "She called me Clodagh too and hoped, in vain, that we'd be the only two."[2] The name Clodagh is popular in Ireland but is little used elsewhere.
