Meaning & origin
Cleatis is an exceedingly rare masculine name in the United States. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1911, the same year it reached its peak usage, though it never entered the top 1000 names. According to Social Security data, the name has maintained a stable trajectory with no recorded births in recent years. Its origins are uncertain, possibly a variant of Cleatus or an original modern creation. The name has never been associated with any top states or notable frequency, making it a true outlier in American naming history.
Cleatis is a rare given name of uncertain origin, possibly a variant of Cleatus, itself a spelling alteration of the Greek-derived name Cleitus meaning 'splendid' or 'famous.' However, it may also be a modern coinage, formed by combining the popular prefix Cle- with the fashionable -tis suffix. The name first appeared in U.S. records in the 1910s but has never been common.
