What is the meaning of the name Cloea ?

Cloea is Greek in Origin.

Cloea is a modern elaboration of Chloe, ultimately from Greek Khlōē, an epithet of the harvest goddess Demeter meaning “green shoot,” “young verdure,” or “blooming.” The added final -a mirrors Romance spellings (Cloe/Cloé) and gives the name a softer, lyrical cadence while preserving Chloe’s springlike imagery of fertility and renewal.

Chloe appears in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 1:11) and in classical literature through Longus’s pastoral romance Daphnis and Chloe; it was revived in early modern Europe and rose sharply in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century. Cloea itself is rare, surfacing in recent birth records as a creative variant. Related forms and spellings include Chloe, Chloë (with diaeresis), Cloe (Italian/Spanish), Cloé (French), Khloe and Kloe (English variants). Do not confuse it with the Latin name Cloelia, which has a separate Roman origin and meaning.
