Meaning & Origin
Khleo is a girl's baby name, a variant spelling of Cleo, which derives from the Greek name Cleopatra or from kleos, meaning 'glory' or 'fame.' The Kh- spelling gives the familiar name an additional exotic, North African quality — appropriate given that the most famous Cleo of all was Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
Cleo has been enjoying a quiet revival as a short, confident girls' name with genuine historical pedigree. Khleo's distinctive spelling makes it stand out even further, suggesting a deliberate connection to the name's ancient Mediterranean roots while keeping it immediately pronounceable.
