Meaning & origin
Khloei is a modern respelling of Chloe, first recorded in the United States in 2010. It has never ranked in the top 1,000 names and peaked in the same year it first appeared, with usage falling since then. The name reflects a broader trend of creative spelling variations that emerged in the 2010s, offering a distinctive alternative to the more traditional Chloe. While Khloei has not seen widespread adoption, it exemplifies how parents in that era experimented with phonetic respellings to personalize familiar names. As of 2025, the name remains rare, with no strong regional concentration.
Khloei is a modern English respelling of the Greek name Chloe (Χλόη), derived from the Greek word 'chloē' meaning 'green shoot' or 'blooming.' Chloe was an epithet of the goddess Demeter in Greek mythology. The traditional spelling Chloe has been in use since the Protestant Reformation in England, while Khloei is part of a trend of creative respellings that emerged in the 2010s, particularly in the United States, where parents sought distinctive variations of familiar names.
