Khloe

Khloe is an alternate spelling of the ancient Greek name Chloe, derived from the Greek word khloe meaning green shoot or young green growth, evoking the freshness of new plant life in spring. The name appears in the New Testament as that of a woman mentioned in one of Paul's letters, and in Greek mythology Khloe was used as an epithet of the goddess Demeter. The spelling with Kh became particularly fashionable in English-speaking countries in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, partly through the influence of celebrity culture. Related forms include Chloe, Cloe, and Kloé.
