feminine · English origin
From ancient Greek, Chloe derives from the word khloe, meaning young green shoot or new growth, evoking the fresh vegetation of spring. In Greek mythology the name was used as an epithet of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and the harvest. The name also appears in the New Testament, where a woman named Chloe is briefly mentioned in the First Epistle to the Corinthians, giving it a foothold in Christian tradition. French Chloé and Dutch Chloë are direct variants sharing the same classical root.
