Maximum respect to Mr. Martin, but I'm pretty sure usage of the term "clean code" predates the first printing Clean Coder.

@John: I think we all agree on that. But that was not my point. I wanted to know whether the second meaning is thinkable - or just bad english (i.e. nobody, even children would not expect the second interpretation).

I think we need to recognize that "Clean Coder" is meant to be an allusion to the term "Clean Code." In context, it means, "a coder who writes clean code." So meaning #1 is still the prevalent sense of the term even though the book is about rules for writing clean code, IMO.
