==Name and etymology== The name "Cletus" ({{langx|grc|Κλητος|Klētos}}) means "one who has been called", and "Anacletus" ({{langx|grc|Ἀνάκλητος|Anaklētos}}) means "one who has been called back". Also "Anencletus" ({{langx|grc|Ἀνάγκλητος}}) means "unimpeachable" or "blameless".<ref name="Richard Lansing p. 178">Richard Lansing, "The Dante Encyclopedia" p. 178, 2010</ref> The [[Roman Martyrology]] mentions the pope as "Cletus".<ref>"Martyrologium Romanum" (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2001 {{ISBN|88-209-7210-7}})</ref> The ''[[Annuario Pontificio]]'' gives both forms. [[Eusebius]], [[Irenaeus]], [[Augustine of Hippo]] and [[Optatus]] all suggest that both names refer to the same individual, while the [[Liberian Catalogue]] counts Cletus and Anacletus as separate popes.<ref name="Campbell">Campbell, Thomas (1907).
