Aldcliffe is a hamlet, and former township and civil parish, now in the parish of Aldcliffe-with-Stodday, south-west of Lancaster, in the Lancaster district, in the county of Lancashire, England. The hamlet is located on the east bank of the River Lune, and is one and a half miles south west of the Lancaster city centre.[1]
The name can be split into two parts, ald which roughly means 'old', and clif which means 'high ground'. There are also a number of different variations over the centuries: Aldeclif (1086), Audecliva (1094), Audeclyviam (1190), Aldeclive (1212), Aidedyf (1341), Auclyff (1577), Awcliffe (1577), Adclife, Aldcliffe, Alclife, Aldclif, Aldclife, Aldclyffe, Altlife, Auldcliffe, Auckliff, Aucliff, Aucliffe and Aukliffe.[1] The first part of the name may also be the Brittonic alt meaning "a steep height or hill, a cliff".[2]
The traditional pronunciation is "Awcliffe" while "A 1 d cliff e" may have been the ancient and the newcomer's pronunciation.[1]
