Chloe (;[1] Greek : Χλόη [note 1] ), also spelled Chloë , Chlöe , or Chloé , is a feminine name meaning "blooming" or "fertility" in Greek. The name ultimately derives, through Greek, from the Proto-Indo-European root *ǵʰelh₃- , which relates to the colors yellow and green.[2] [citation needed ] The common scientific prefix chloro- (e.g. chlorine and chloroplast) derives from the same Greek root. In Greek the word refers to the young, green foliage or shoots of plants in spring.
Χλόη was one of the many epithets of the goddess Demeter .[3] The name appears in the New Testament , in 1 Corinthians 1:11 in the context of "the house of Chloe", a leading early Christian woman in Corinth , Greece.[4] The French spelling is Chloé .
