Cleota is a unique, feminine given name of Greek origin. It's derived from the name Hekate, which means 'remote' or 'far off'. Cleota was particularly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often favored by families looking for distinctive names for their daughters.
"Cleota was quite popular as a girl's name from 1910 to 1927, with the highest number of births occurring in 1920 (21). After that period, its popularity declined significantly, reaching a low of 6 births per year several times between 1931 and 1943. Overall, Cleota was given to 312 newborn girls during these years."
