Origin: IE [Indo-European] [606] *ḱleuos `fame'

Etymology: Old verbal noun of a word for `hear', found in several languages: Skt. śrávas- n. `fame' ( κλέος ἄφθιτον: ákṣiti śrávaḥ), Av. sravah- n. `word', OCS slovo n. `word', also OIr. clū and Toch. A klyw, B kälywe `fame', and also Illyr. PN Ves-cleves (= Skt. vásu-śravas- `having good fame'; cf. Εὑ-κλῆς). The denomin. κλε(ί)ω \< *κλεϜεσ-ι̯ω also agrees to Skt. śravasyáti `praise', which therefore can be pre-Greek. Further s. κλύω. - On κλέος s. Steinkopf and Greindl s. εὔχομαι, and Greindl RhM 89, 217ff.
