Strongs #2832, Κλωπᾶς. Klopas. A dubious etymology to many scholars, being a rare name. Some have suspected it was made up, which is also plausible since there are numerous words made up by NT authors to express specific meanings. The meaning is derived from the Greek root Κλo, from which comes "klepto" meaning to steal. And πᾶς which means "all/whole." The idea of Mary being married to some man named "a burglar of all" has led many to think it highly unlikely.
