clepe \kleep\, verb:
- to call; name (now chiefly in the past participle as ycleped or yclept).
Clepe is derived from the Old English word cleopian which is related to the Middle Low German word kleperen meaning "to rattle." The odd iteration of clepe is its past participle yclept which is its more common variant. The initial y is a vestige from Middle English.
