Clio Origin and Meaning

The name Clio is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "glory".

Clio is the name of the ancient Greek mythological muse of history and heroic poetry, one that is rich with modern charm and would make an intriguing choice, especially thanks to its dynamic o-ending.

Unlike the sound-alike Cleo, which brings up visions of Cleopatra, Clio is very much a stand-alone name. The only problem? Some might associate it too heavily with the car model, but that will hopefully fade with time.

In English, the first syllable is emphasized, however, in the original Greek, it is the second O that is more prominent.

If you love Clio, you could consider other Greek muse names: Thalia and Calliope.
