Clete

Clete is a Greek-originated gender-neutral name. The name is a variant of the Greek Cletus, meaning 'called forth.' Another etymology of the name suggests a derivative of the Greek Kleitos, meaning 'glory.' Therefore, the meaning of Clete is 'invoked,' 'called forth,' or 'illustrious.' Clete feature in Greek mythology as an Amazon and disciple of Penthesilea, who built the city known as Clete in Italy. The name in English also means 'to call on someone.' However, its English usage is more associated with the feminine gender than the Greek root, where it is traditionally given to girls. Contemporary notables with the name include Clete Roberts, a 20th-century American broadcast journalist; Cletis Leroy 'Clete' Boyer, a retired American professional baseball player; Cletus W. 'Clete' Blakeman, an American Football League official; Clete Turner, an Australian rules footballer, Clete Donald Johnson Jr., an American lawyer, politician, academic and diplomat from Georgia; Clete Thomas, a retired American baseball player; and Cletus 'Clete' Patterson, American National Football League player.
