"Blend of Glen and ford"
The name Glenford is commonly a male name from the "English" origin.
Glenford is a compound given name built from Glen plus the English place-name element ford. Glen derives from Scottish Gaelic gleann, meaning valley, and ford is the Old English word for a shallow river crossing, the element behind surnames such as Clifford, Bradford and Ashford. The name follows the pattern of English formations that join a nature word to a topographic ending, rather than carrying a meaning of its own as a whole.
The pronunciation of Glenford is GLEN-furd.
