History & Origin

Cloie is a phonetic spelling of Chloe, from the Greek Khloe, 'green shoot, young growth,' an epithet of Demeter. Unlike most names in its vintage cohort, Cloie is a recent variant: it rode Chloe's strong modern revival, reaching its high around 2007 at close to a hundred girls a year.

Cloie remained a minority spelling beside the very popular Chloe and eased off in the twenty-tens. It reads as a two-thousands creative spelling rather than an antique; parents who choose it usually want Chloe's sound with a simpler look. The standard Chloe is the recognized form.

Did you know? Chloe, and so Cloie, was an ancient epithet of Demeter, goddess of the harvest — literally 'the green shoot' — so a very modern-looking spelling carries one of the oldest fertility images in Greek myth.
