Chloe Name Meaning

A sweet yet sassy moniker teeming with good vibes, Chloe was destined for the baby name charts. Meaning “green shoot” in her native Greece, Chloe is a name of rebirth and growth, named after the new crop that appears each spring.

Chloe goes hand in hand with little girls and dolls, a name that instantly brings to mind giggles and pigtails. She’s youthful and vibrant, lighting up every room with her bright spirit. Similar to Riley and of course Zoe, Chloe has the same amount of energy behind her along with a fashionable Chl- beginning like Clara and Cleo. She’s posh yet approachable, similar to Charlotte.

In additional to a rich literary background, she’s also a subtle biblical name, appearing in the New Testament. Chloe is also the name of a Greek goddess, presiding over agriculture and fertility.

Chloe has appeared in the U.S. Top 10 in the past and remains a beloved moniker around the world. Her spelling is no longer an issue, as most people have met a little Chloe. Best of all, your little Chloe should be able to find personalized items in most stores.

Alternative spellings include Cloe and Khloe. If you’re looking for something similar, try Lucy, Daisy, and Stella. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, check out Clover with the nickname of Chloe.

I liked the name Chloe at first because it sounded beautiful. Also, my first daughter’s nickname is Josie (short for Josephine) and I thought Chloe and Josie sounded cute together.
Then I really liked the meaning of Chloe (fertility, blooming), and it was also a coincidence that I must have been super fertile when we conceived her, as it was our first time having unprotected sex since our first daughter was born! 😀 she was a surprise baby, to us, of course!

I’ve always wanted this name if I ever had a baby. For some reason I never had a boy’s name. And then when I get pregnant it turns out to be a girl 🙂 and I added an accent to make it French because I love all things French – Chlo?.

It is a beautiful name I have liked since I was a child. It also shares my first initial and it’s the initial sound of my mom and grandmother.

Chloe has always been a name I really love growing up and the meaning of the name is beautiful. The name Chloe is girl’s name of Greek origin meaning “young green shoot”. Chloe appeared in Greek mythology as an alternative name for the goddess of agriculture and fertility, Demeter.

Chloe just came to me. I never had a long list of baby names. I feel it came from God. It means fertility, growth. She is all of that in my life. She’s my first child to be born. She’s my everything.

Her Dads name is Torri, mine is Eboni. Both 5 letters. So I wanted something that had 5 letters & similar to ours.

Only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t end with an “I” like ours. Lol

Chloe is my rainbow baby who brings joy/happiness to ANYONE that crosses her path. Literally. She’s an all around happy baby & makes anyone happy.

My husband and I wanted to find a name that started with “C” just like her older brothers’ names, and we thought Chloe was a beautiful option. I like that it will be easy for her to learn to spell and write, and that others will know how to pronounce it. I do wish it was a bit less popular, as she will meet a few other Chloes, I’m sure! 🙂 But I love how cute and classic it is, and it fits her well!

My husband’s name is Christopher. She is our first child after trying for five years. Since she couldn’t be a junior he wanted her name to have “Ch” in it like his. We agreed on Chloe.

My husband and I both picked this name as a favorite on our baby naming app without even discussing it before hand. We chose this name early but I didn’t want to settle on the first one so we went through quite a bit of names only to settle on this one 2 weeks before she was born. I asked him after looking at all of our options what he would name her and he said Chloe so we just went with it. When she was born it fit her perfectly. She’s our final addition to our family of 8 and she’s completely and totally perfect ?.

I love the name Chloe. My daughter’s name is Chloe Mae Hyde. My husband chose her second name (Mae) because he said she is mine lol. Chloe came to me in a dream I had of my grandmother that passed away. I dreamt that she said Chloe is the most precious little girl she have ever seen. And so I decided her name will be Chloe. Ps the dream was way before I knew she was a girl, I had this dream when I was 8 weeks pregnant. ?

We love the name Chloe. The meaning “tender green shoot” is feminine and strong. And we paired it with the middle name Savannah which means desert. A very fitting name for our spunky, intense, and also sweet daughter!

I chose Chloe because my mother used to have a bottle of Chloe perfume with the squeeze puffer that I loved playing in when I was little – it made me feel fancy. I love that Chloe isn’t a very common name. Plus it makes her sound French and sophisticated lol

It’s a name both my husband and I loved. We wanted to stay with a “C” name because our first child has a “C” name. It’s an easy name to spell and short.

We wanted something from the bible but also not very common and not the stereotypical Mary or Martha. Chloe just fit well and was one that we both liked

We chose the name Chloe because of its Greek meaning. Our daughter was a miracle baby and “Sprout” or “seedling” just seemed to fit our little one. We loved the Greek heritage since my husband is of Mediterranean decent. The only setback was that in 2015, the year she was born, the Kardashians were big and everywhere we went people were spelling her name with a “K” and asking if we named her after that pop culture family. No way!
