MEANING & HISTORY

What does Cleopas mean?

Cleopas comes from Greek Kleopas, a contracted form of Kleopatros. The longer Greek name combines glory with father.

It is also a New Testament personal name. The contraction supplies a specific historical formation rather than an unrelated meaning for the ending. Cleopatra belongs to a related Greek compound family, though it is a different exact name.
