Variant spelling of Chloe, from Greek 'khloe' meaning young green shoot, an epithet of Demeter.
Chloie is a modern respelling of Chloe, one of the oldest continuously used feminine names in the Western tradition. The original Greek Χλόη (Khlóē) meant 'young green shoot' or 'blooming,' and was used as an epithet for Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, evoking spring's first tender growth pushing through the soil. The name appears in the New Testament — a woman named Chloe is mentioned by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians as a community leader whose household brought him reports from Corinth — giving it both pagan and early Christian credentials.
The name enjoyed literary prestige through Longus's ancient Greek pastoral romance Daphnis and Chloe, a story of two foundlings raised among shepherds who fall in love, which became enormously influential on European literature and music, inspiring composers from Handel to Ravel. This pastoral association kept Chloe alive through the Renaissance and into the Romantic era, when it became a fashionable poetic name for idealized country maidens. The Chloie spelling — swapping the terminal 'e' for 'ie' — is a distinctly contemporary American innovation, emerging in the 1990s and 2000s alongside similarly respelled names like Zoie and Sofie.
It softens the name slightly, giving it a more informal, friendly cadence while retaining all the mythological and literary weight of the original. Parents drawn to Chloie typically want the classic name's elegance paired with a spelling that feels individually tailored.
