Cleopatra
Nile's last queen
Cleopatra is a female given name of Greek origin meaning "glory of the father," though it is rarely used today outside of historical or literary contexts.
The name is dominated by its association with Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, whose romantic liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony have made her an enduring symbol of seductive power and tragic ambition.
References to Cleopatra in modern usage typically invoke this queen or the dramatic narratives surrounding her.
