Cleola
Cleola Origin and Meaning
Cleola is a feminine name with possible roots in ancient Greek, potentially deriving from "Cleo" (meaning "glory" or "fame") with a decorative suffix. This elegant, melodic name emerged in American usage during the early 20th century, experiencing its peak popularity during the 1910s-1930s. Cleola bears resemblance to popular names of that era like Viola, Leola, and Cora, sharing their vintage charm and flowing sound pattern. The name features the appealing "cle" opening sound followed by musical vowels that create a rhythmic, graceful quality. Though Cleola has become quite rare in contemporary use, it represents the ornate naming style of America's past and may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive vintage revival name with classical undertones and an inherently feminine character.
