Meaning & History

Derived from the elements (polys) "Many" and the second 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 second element is closely related to the Greek noun κλεος (kleos) meaning "glory". Meaning "much renowned".

Polykleitos of Argos was an ancient Greek sculptor in bronze of the 5th-century BC.
