What is the meaning of the name Chlo ?

The baby name Chlo is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KLOH-ee (IPA: /ˈkloʊ.i/).

Chlo is Greek in Origin.

Chlo is a pared-down, contemporary spelling of Chloe/Chloé, ultimately from the Ancient Greek Khloē (Χλόη), meaning “green shoot, fresh verdure,” an epithet of the harvest goddess Demeter that evoked spring and fertility. The name appears in early Greek literature and in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 1:11), and was popularized in the pastoral romance Daphnis and Chloe; in English it became a stock shepherdess name in Restoration and Augustan verse, before the standard form Chloe surged in Anglophone and Francophone use from the late 20th century.

Chlo functions mainly as a modern minimalist variant or nickname, with legal use remaining rare compared to Chloe/Chloé/Chloë. Common related spellings include Chloe, Chloé, Chloë, Cloe/Cloé, and Khloe/Khloé; short forms such as Clo or Lo also occur. Pronunciation typically matches Chloe (“KLOH”), and diacritics may appear or be dropped according to language conventions.
