Origin and meaning of Chloe
Chloe comes from the ancient Greek chlóē (χλόη), 'green shoot', an epithet of the goddess Demeter tied to spring fertility. It appears in the New Testament and carries a long literary pedigree through the pastoral romance 'Daphnis and Chloe'. In English-speaking countries it has ranked consistently high on both SSA and ONS charts for girls, loved for its bright sound and its fresh, nature-rooted meaning of new growth.
