In Old English clouds used to be called weolcan, but the word for a rock was clod, like a clod of earth. Clouds were the same sort of shape as rocks, so they were gradually called clods, and then clouds. So it was the Anglo Saxons, or Old English, who lived between the 5th and the 11th Centuries, who first called clouds clouds.
