Cletus

Cletus derives from the Greek name Anakletos, meaning 'called forth' or 'invoked,' suggesting someone chosen or summoned. This name echoes through early Christian history, notably borne by Pope Saint Cletus, the third Pope of the Catholic Church, who served in the late first century. From its ancient Greek roots, the name traveled through Latin, carried by a lineage of spiritual leaders and scholars who defined early doctrine.

When you first say 'Cletus' aloud, it has a solid, grounded sound. It’s a name for a child you instinctively feel has a quiet strength, someone who will always answer when he is called to do what is right. You can already picture yourself writing this name on a school form, a name that implies a deep, unwavering loyalty.
