Clever-land, Cleave-land

A coworker at one of my company's Asian offices made a highly complimentary mistake in their English: Cleveland became Cleverland. What would Moses Cleaveland think?

To cleave:

1. to adhere closely; stick; cling (usually fol. by to).
   
2. to remain faithful (usually fol. by to): to cleave to one's principles in spite of persecution.
   
3. to split or divide by or as if by a cutting blow, esp. along a natural line of division, as the grain of wood.
   
4. to make by or as if by cutting: to cleave a path through the wilderness.
   
5. to penetrate or pass through (air, water, etc.): The bow of the boat cleaved the water cleanly.
   
6. to cut off; sever: to cleave a branch from a tree.

Clever:

1. mentally bright; having sharp or quick intelligence; able.
   
2. superficially skillful, witty, or original in character or construction; facile: It was an amusing, clever play, but of no lasting value.
   
3. showing inventiveness or originality; ingenious: His clever device was the first to solve the problem.
   
4. adroit with the hands or body; dexterous or nimble.

Either is fine, actually.
