Origin:Greek
Meaning:Glory
Kleon is a masculine name that’s widely synonymous with “glory.” Whether it was by coincidence or sheer will to live up to one’s name, an Athenian general certainly drew inspiration from its meaning during the Peloponnesian War. Styled as Cleon, he advocated for offensive war strategies and was also known for being ruthless in carrying out his policies. The man was not without haters, but he still persevered. If you’d like your little one to follow in the general’s footsteps and have nothing and no one get in their way, Kleon is all set for the task at hand.
