History & Origin

Khloi descends from Chloe (Greek 'young green shoot'), by way of the trendier Khloe spelling that gained wide notice through celebrity culture. The '-oi' finish is a further personalization, keeping the classic sound while giving it a distinctly modern look.

It stayed rare, cresting around 2012 with only a couple dozen girls a year. A child named Khloi then is still young, a Gen-Z name that reads as a fashion-forward respelling of an ancient classic still firmly in style.

Did you know? The K-spelling of Chloe was propelled into the mainstream by celebrity use in the 2000s, and offshoots like Khloi followed the fashion for a bolder opening letter.
