Kloie
A girl's name of Greek origin with 1,086 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
At 5 letters and one syllable, Kloie hits the middle ground most parents look for: long enough to feel complete, short enough for everyday use. It has been used as a girl's name in the U.S. since 1996, with 1,086 total recorded births.
Kloie is not in the current top 1,000, which means your child is unlikely to share the name with a classmate — a plus for parents who value distinctiveness.
Kloie is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Kloie is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a creative spelling variant of Chloe — from the Greek khloe meaning 'blooming, verdant' or 'green shoot.' In Greek mythology, Chloe was an epithet of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, celebrating spring growth and renewal.
Chloe has been one of the most popular girls' names of the 21st century. Kloie offers the same fresh, botanical meaning with a K-initial that gives it a slightly more unusual written character — the same goddess's name in an unexpected new guise that stands out on any class list.
