Clay Genealogy & History
Clay genealogy is typically British. Like so many other names, it first came to Britain with the Norman Conquest in the eleventh century. Originally it was either an occupational surname, referring to someone who worked in a clay pit or built with clay, or a locational surname referring to someone who lived near a clay pit. The word derives from the Old English "claeg", meaning clay. Early Clay family history in the United States includes settlers Anne Clay, who arrived in Virginia in 1623, and Jon Clay, who settled in Virginia in 1643. Cassius Clay is the original name of American boxer Muhammad Ali.
