Meaning & origin
Chloey is a modern respelling of the ancient Greek name Chloe, first appearing in U.S. records in 1995. Its popularity peaked in 2011, but it has been falling since 2010, reflecting the broader trend away from creative spellings of established names. With a current rank of #9457 and a frequency of about 1 in 160,727 births, Chloey remains a rare choice. The name has not been recorded in any top state data, suggesting its use is scattered across the country. While the original Chloe has ancient roots, Chloey is firmly a product of late 20th and early 21st century naming innovation.
Chloey is a respelled variant of the Greek name Chloe, derived from χλόη (khlóē) meaning 'green shoot' or 'blooming'. The name appears in Greek mythology as an epithet of the goddess Demeter. The Chloey spelling emerged in the late 20th century as a creative modernization.
