Clowie is Scottish in Origin.
Clowie is a modern English elaboration and pet form of Chloe, derived from Greek Chloē (khlóē) meaning “green shoot,” “fresh greenery,” and by extension “blooming.” The epithet was applied to the goddess Demeter and appears in classical literature, most famously in Longus’s romance Daphnis and Chloe, as well as in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 1:11). As a given name in the Anglophone world, Chloe was revived in the 17th century and flourished in 18th‑century pastoral poetry.
Clowie surfaces mainly in recent decades as a creative respelling that preserves the common pronunciation KLOH-ee. It remains uncommon compared with Chloe but fits contemporary trends for -ie endings. Related forms and spellings include Chloe, Chloë/Chloé, Khloe, Cloe, Cloé, Cloey, and Cloie; short forms include Clo and Chlo. The underlying meaning carries pastoral freshness, youth, and fertility.
