Cleburne is a rare given name, typically used for boys, with no recorded rank in U.S. history. Its peak usage year was 1919, when it was still given to only a small number of babies. The name has never appeared in the top 1000, and its trajectory has been stable, meaning it has not seen recent revival or decline.

Cleburne is a transferred use of the Scottish and Irish surname, itself derived from a place name. The etymology is uncertain, but it may originate from Gaelic elements meaning 'meadow' or 'stream' and 'fortress'. The name saw brief use in the United States in the early 20th century.
