Pronunciation
in reply to a message by Array
I really can't say how it's pronounced. The ancestor who bore it was an Alsatian and probably spoke French. My inclination is to pronounce it KLEE-off or KLAY-off or something in between, and it sounds nicer and more natural to me with stress on the first syllable.

If French, I believe it would be pronounced Cley-O-ff

It looks Greek to me. I'd pronounce it clee-OH-fee. But I'm probably way wrong. It looks pretty though.

That's my assumption, too

That was how I thought it would be too, but I really have no idea. I agree too that it looks pretty. :)
