Cleopatra is a Greek name derived from “kleo” (glory) and “pater” (father), altogether meaning “glory of the father.”
Many queens of Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty were given this name, including Cleopatra VII – the famous female pharaoh and lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.
So, while Cleopatra is of Greek origin, it’s steeped in Egyptian history, making it an appropriate choice for your Egyptian princess.
