There is no Clan Clyde. The name refers to those that lived along the Clyde River in Scotland. Most Clyde's came from the Strathclyde District, South of Glasgow. The District has a tartan that can be worn by those that came from there.
In my family's case, they changed the name from Hamilton to Clyde when the left Scotland.
I have been researching the family name since June, 1971.

I guess this is kind of a question as well. But is it true that only those who lived in the highlands belonged to clans and those in the lowlands did not? Because I thought the Clyde's were in the lowlands on the banks of the Clyde River, hence the name. Also what does Clyde itself mean. I know the name came from the river, but where did the river get it's name. Thanks,
John Clyde
