A unisex name. In the case of males it was originally short for Cleophas or Cleophus meaning "vision of glory." Well used for males in French speaking cultures and historically by African Americans. Variant Clio. [noted -ed]
Could also be a nickname for other names that begin with Cleo-, like Cleodora, Cleone, Cleocharia etc, which, in contrast to Cleopatra, are all pretty unusual names.
Cleo also means "glory".
