His Greek name was traditionally Latinized ''Polycletus'', but is also transliterated ''Polycleitus'' ({{langx|grc|Πολύκλειτος}}, Classical Greek {{IPA|el|polýkleːtos}}, "much-renowned") and, due to [[iotacism]] in the transition from Ancient to Modern Greek, ''Polyklitos'' or ''Polyclitus''. He is called '''Sicyonius''' (lit. "The Sicyonian", usually translated as "of Sicyon")<ref>[[Pliny the Elder]] ''[[Natural Histories]]'' 34.19.23</ref> by Latin authors including [[Pliny the Elder]] and [[Cicero]], and Ἀργεῖος (lit. "The Argive", trans. "of Argos") by others like [[Plato]] and [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]]. He is sometimes called the Elder, in cases where it is necessary to distinguish him from [[Polykleitos the Younger|his son]], who is regarded as a major architect but a minor sculptor.
