Kleber

Kleber is a term with multiple uses in different languages. In German, Kleber is a common noun meaning glue or adhesive; it refers to substances used to bond materials and is part of a broader family of adhesives, alongside terms like Klebstoff and Leim. The word derives from the verb kleben, “to stick.”

In Portuguese-speaking contexts, Kleber (often written Kléber) is a male given name, especially in Brazil and Portugal. It is also found as a surname in German-speaking countries and elsewhere, reflecting historical migration and cultural exchange. People named Kleber have pursued a wide range of professions, including sports, science, and the arts, and the name appears in literature and media as well.

Because Kleber functions both as a common noun in German and as a personal name in various cultures, its interpretation depends on context. The term may appear in discussions of language, onomastics, or biographical references, where distinguishing whether it refers to an adhesive or to a person is important.
