Chloe

From Ancient Greek, Chloe derives from the word meaning green shoot or young green plant, evoking the fresh new growth of spring. In Greek mythology it was used as an epithet of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and the harvest. The name appears in the New Testament as a woman mentioned by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, which helped establish it in Christian usage. French Chloé and Dutch Chloë are the primary European variants sharing this classical root.
