Ptolemy
After Cleopatra, Rome ruled Egypt. Cleopatra was the last of the ancient line of rulers and Egypt became part of the Roman empire.
The last important Cleopatra was Cleopatra VII. She is the one who is so famous and misunderstood. There may have been other Cleopatras after her as Cleopatra was a very common name in the Hellenistic world.
Cleopatra was a queen and queens in those days did not have "last names" as we know them. Her complete name was Cleopatra Philopater Thea, the "Philopater Thea" being a title or throne name. It means father-loving goddess.
Cleopatra was a Ptolemy. She was the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty and therefore was related to the entire line of Ptolemaic pharaohs.
Cleopatra did not have a last name as we know it. Because she belonged to the Ptolemaic dynasty, you could loosely say Ptolemy was her last name, but this would not be quite accurate as it was also the first names of just about all of her predecessors. Cleopatra's throne name was Cleopatra Thea Philopator, which means Cleopatra, the father-loving goddess. This Thea Philopator could also loosely be considered a "last name" but not accurate either, because it was a title, not a genuine name.
No, Cleopatra did not have a last name as we think of names. Her name was Cleopatra Philopator. However the "Philopater" was a title not a name. It was the custom of the Egyptian rulers to select a title to accompany their given names and Cleo selected Philopater, which means "father loving".
Egyptian rulers did not use last names. However they did have "throne names" which could loosely be considered a last name, or at least something to distinguished one from another, especially the fifteen Ptolemies. Cleopatra's name including her throne name was Cleopatra Thea Philopater. It means Cleopatra the Father Loving Goddess.
There was no Cleopatra VI. There was Cleopatra V and Cleopatra VII (who was the last pharaoh of Egypt and had children with Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony) but somewhere along the line the Ptolemy family lost count of how many Cleopatra's there were. Family names, you know.
No they are not. The most famous Cleopatra was Queen Cleopatra VII because she was the last pharaoh to rule Egypt. Cleopatra IV was probably one of Cleopatra VII's relatives as lots of the women in her family had the name Cleopatra.
