Actually it is also "Cleopatra," or at least that what some people think. In reality we don't know the name of Cleopatra's mother.

We do know that her father was married to a woman named Cleopatra, but we don't know if she were Cleopatra VII's mother. Egyptian rulers had many concubines and Cleopatra could very well be a child of one of the "side ladies." Historians are trying to sort this stuff out.

There are many references to Cleopatra VII both by the ancient writers and by her contemporary inscriptions. As a queen, Cleopatra VII also had a cartouche. That's how we know what Cleo VII's name was. However we have nothing regarding her mother. Just because her father was married to a woman named Cleopatra (a common name) is no reason to think that she was actually Cleo VII's mother.
