What is the meaning of the name Cloe ?

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

Cloe is Greek in Origin.

Cloe is a streamlined spelling of Chloe, ultimately from Greek Khloe (Χλόη), an epithet of Demeter meaning "young green shoot," "fresh verdure," and by extension "blooming" and "fertility." The name was borne in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 1:11), ensuring low-level awareness in Christian lands, though it remained rare through the Middle Ages. It re-emerged with the classical and pastoral tastes of the 17th-18th centuries in Britain and elsewhere, then surged again worldwide from the late 20th century.

Common variants include Chloe (standard English), Chloé (French), Cloé (French/Portuguese), Cloe (Spanish, Italian, and international), and Khloe/Khloé (modern American). Nicknames include Clo and Chlo. In contemporary usage, Cloe tends to appear most in Spain, Italy, and Latin America, offering a sleek, phonetic look while preserving the airy, verdant imagery of the Greek original.
