What Kleopatra means
Where Kleopatra comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Kleopatra is built from two Greek words. Kleos means glory, and patros means father, giving the sense "glory of the father." The name belonged to Macedonian royalty long before Egypt claimed it. A sister of Alexander the Great was called Kleopatra.
The name most people picture is Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt. She wrote in Greek, and her family spoke it, so her name kept its plain meaning. The second half, patros, is kin to Latin pater and English father.
In a Polish class register, Kleopatra stands out among the Zuzannas and Julias. It carries no diminutive of its own here, and no softened variant. The full form does all the work. Kleopatra remains what it was in Greek: glory of the father.
