Kloie
Meaning of Kloie
As a modern orthographic variant of the classic Greek name Chloe—derived from khloē, meaning “green shoot”—Kloie evokes the tender promise of spring’s first bloom, offering parents a name that feels both time-honored and subtly reimagined. First recorded in the United States during the mid-1990s, Kloie enjoyed modest growth through the early 2010s, briefly flirting with a rank nestled in the low 800s before gradually receding to a place of rarefied charm (in 2023, only six newborns bore the name, ranking it 952nd). Pronounced kloh-ee in both American and British English, this warm, melodious form bridges classical resonance and contemporary flair without sacrificing clarity—a welcome balance for families who appreciate linguistic depth but prefer to avoid the everyday ubiquity of more familiar spellings. Though one might not encounter a cohort of Kloies on every playground, that very scarcity lends the name a quietly confident character, as if each bearer carries her own unique sprig of verdant promise.
