Cleopatra (Κλεοπάτρα) combines the Greek kleos (glory) and pater (father) — meaning "glory of the father." Cleopatra VII (69-30 BCE), the last active pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt, was the most famous bearer.
Cleopatra is rare as a given name but iconic. Cleopatra Jones (1973) was the title of the Blaxploitation film.
Cleopatra does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Cleopatra reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
