About the name
Cleo is Greek — kleos, "glory, fame" — the working end of Cleopatra (and Cleopatra's glory outlived the empire that opposed her). As a standalone it has jazz-age American history of its own.
Cleo has re-entered the charts with the vintage-short-name wave (Ivy, Mae, Otto) — maximal history, minimal letters.
Two syllables with kohl eyeliner. It pairs well with longer middles (Cleo Marguerite, Cleo Alexander). On our vibe map it is Vintage Elegant with Mythological throne access and Modern Minimalist economy — glory, abbreviated.
