Chloe
Featured in baby name books
Chloe is Greek and evokes fresh plant growth, with meanings like “young blade of grass,” “tender shoot,” or “green.” Chloe is also read as “blooming,” and it was the heroine of the ancient Greek tale Daphnis and Chloe. Chloe appears in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians as a woman whose household reported quarrels among the Christians there. Once considered exotic, Chloe topped the charts in England around 2002 and became common in the U.S., with Khloe Kardashian popularizing the K spelling.
