I have read an article about a family with female members named Lito and Kiveli. It was mentioned that they speak Greek. Any ideas about the meaning?

Lito is maybe a variant of Leto (click for the database's entry on the name). Kiveli is definitely a Greek name, but I don't know what it means.

For Kiveli, see Cybele--in modern Greek, eta (long e) is often transliterated with the letter i, and beta with v, since that's how it's pronounced.
