ArchivesSerbian and/or Croatian nicknames for Kleopatra?
Does anyone know what the Serbian and/or Croatian nicknames for Kleopatra would be? Since it's not exactly a common name in those languages, I haven't been able to find any on my own. I imagine Patra or Patri might be some of the nicknames, but I'm not 100% certain.
Thanks!

Hi !!!
I don't know Croatian or Serbian language but I try anyway...
- The name Klavdiya (Claudia) in Russian is shortened as Klava. As well the Slavic name Nadeljka is shortened as Neda.
- The Croatian name Andela (Angela) is shortened to Andelka.
- The name Anna is shortened to Anica in Serbian. The same for Vera that become Verica or Olga/Olgica.
- The name Katya is shortened in Croatian as Kata or Katica while Katja is Slovene.
- Many Serbian names have -ka ad diminutive suffix (Zora/Zorka, Nevena/Nevenka, Jovana/Jovanka).
So..
The name Kleopatra can follow one of these ways.
It could be
Klata or Klepa
Kleopatca, Kleopatka or Klepatka
kleopatrica
Klepatja
Or something completely different like Klea.
I know that I'm not helpful but as they are Slavic languages these are the diminutive forms that they can use.
I personally prefer Klepatka or Klepa. They seem more realistic imo.

Hi, I just saw this and I am Serbian. The responses you got were so off the mark and ridiculous.
I have not heard of anyone called Kleopatra (maybe gypsies would give a name like that, they have the habit of giving exotic names), but if a person existed and would have a nickname, it would be Kleo.
In no way would it be Klepatka or Klapa! These words sound horribly similar to other words ('patka means duck or bedpan, while klapa is a prop used in making movies).
