Chloe

Insights

Today, Chloe is one of the most common baby names (popularity 97/100).

It is less common today than at its historical peak.

The name Chloe originates from the Greek word 'χλόη' (khlóē), meaning 'young green shoot' or 'blooming vegetation,' symbolizing growth and renewal. In Greek mythology, Chloe was an epithet of the goddess Demeter, associated with agriculture and fertility. The name gained literary prominence in the ancient Greek novel 'Daphnis and Chloe' by Longus. It was revived in the English-speaking world during the 17th century and saw a resurgence in the late 20th century, becoming a staple in many cultures due to its melodic simplicity and natural imagery.
