Clipper circuits limit input voltage to sensitive devices (among other things.) Clampers are the foundation of voltage doublers, which allow us to get high voltages from small transformers (albeit at a lower current.) Both have many other applications, too.
Clippers and clamps both limit voltage.
A clipper usually refers to a circuit that limits low-power signal amplitudes to a desired maximum.
A clamp often refers to a circuit that limits over-voltages, voltage surges, or noise spikes in power rails to protect the circuits being powered. Another use is minimizing transient inductive voltages in various types of switching power supply circuits.

Crutschow,
Clamp =/= clamper, at least in textbooks...though I seldom hear about anyone talking about clampers in real life!

"Clipper Ship Lightning" – an American clipper ship of the 1850s
Many clippers sailed around Cape Horn
A clipper was a very fast sailing ship of the middle third of the 19th century. They were fast, yachtlike vessels, with three masts and a square rig. They were generally narrow for their length, could carry limited bulk freight, small by later 19th century standards, and had a large total sail area. Clipper ships were mostly constructed in British and American shipyards, though France, Brazil, the Netherlands and other nations also produced some. Clippers sailed all over the world, primarily on the trade routes between the United Kingdom and its colonies in the east, in trans-Atlantic trade, and the New York-to-San Francisco route round Cape Horn during the California Gold Rush. Dutch clippers were built beginning in the 1850s for the tea trade and passenger service to Java.
