Give baby a name to match their destiny of riches. Klea, a feminine name with Swiss and Greek roots, acts as a variant of Clea. Switzerland has had diplomatic relations with Greece since the 19th century, and that influence shines in many ways, including names like Klea. Coming from the Ancient Greek word _kléos,_ it translates to “glory” or “fame.” If you want to give your little one a name that they’re sure to see in lights, Klea is sure to do the trick. It can also serve as a short, sweet version of Cleopatra, meaning “glory of the father.” Whether you want baby to build their own famous legacy or get inspiration from the iconic Egyptian queen, the name Klea will make for a powerful choice.
