Khlorys is Greek in Origin.

Khlorys is a modern, stylized form of Greek Chloris (Χλωρίς), name of the springtime nymph who became goddess of flowers and new growth; in Roman tradition she is identified with Flora. The root is Greek chloros, meaning “greenish, fresh, pale-green,” also related to chloē “young shoot,” so the name evokes verdure, renewal, and blossoming.

While Chloris appeared in Renaissance and 17th-century pastoral poetry and art, and the simplified English form Cloris gained recognition through actress Cloris Leachman, the spelling Khlorys is rare. It reflects a transliteration choice that renders Greek chi (χ) as “kh” and updates the ending to -ys, giving the name a contemporary edge while preserving ancient resonance. Variants include Chloris, Cloris, Khloris, and Chlorys; Chloe is a close linguistic cousin. Khlorys suits parents seeking a distinctive, nature-rich name with classical depth.
