About the name Clover
Clover is derived from the Old English clāfre, meaning ‘clover’, a flowering plant of the genus Trifolium with three-part leaves. Clover is linked with St. Patrick’s Day as a symbol of luck, since the shamrock is a kind of clover and a rare four-leaf clover is considered lucky. As a given name it belongs to the group of plant names used for girls in English since the nineteenth century. A horse named Clover appears in George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
