Meaning & History

The first element of this name is derived from the Greek adjective κλειτός (kleitos) meaning "renowned, famous". It is ultimately derived from the Greek verb κλείω (kleio) meaning "to celebrate, to make famous", which is a variant form of the verb κλέω (kleo) meaning "to celebrate, to glorify, to make famous". As such, the first element is closely related to the Greek noun κλεος (kleos) meaning "glory".

The second element of this name is either derived from the Greek noun αρχος (archos) meaning "master, leader" or from the Greek noun αρχη (arche) meaning "beginning, origin, source".
