Chloe

A Dictionary of First Names | 2006 | | Copyright

Chloe ♀ Pronounced ‘khloh-ee’: from the Late Greek name Khloē, originally used in the classical period as an epithet of the fertility goddess Demeter. It may be indirectly connected with Chloris. A person of this name receives a fleeting mention in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 1:11), and its use as a given name in the English-speaking world almost certainly derives from this reference, leading to its adoption in the 17th century among the Puritans. It has fared better since than many of the minor biblical names taken up at that time (see appendices 15–22), having in recent decades also appeared in combinations such as Chloe-Anne, Chloe-Louise, and Chloe-Marie.
