Not as such, no. If you read through the various sourcebooks, short stories, and novels you can find the source behind many, but not all, of the Clan terms.

The Clans - Warriors of Kerensky
Era Digest - Golden Century
Wars of Reaving
Guide to the Clans

BattleCorps Fall from Glory and Betrayal of Ideals have some early Clannisms as well.

I guess I am really thinking about "Solahma".  But the only thing that might make sense is Soldiers Home or Old soldier's home with the Canadian phrase of "eh" at the end.

IIRC, solahma is believed in-universe to be a corruption of the word solemn.
