Cloey
Cloey Origin and Meaning
Cloey is a feminine name that serves as an alternative spelling of Chloe, which has ancient Greek origins meaning 'blooming' or 'young green shoot.' This variant spelling with the 'ey' ending gives the traditional name a more contemporary feel while maintaining its classic pronunciation. The original name Chloe has deep historical roots, appearing in Greek mythology as an epithet of the goddess Demeter and in the New Testament as a Christian convert mentioned by Paul. Cloey emerged as parents sought distinctive spellings for popular names, particularly during the early 2000s when Chloe ranked among top girls' names in many English-speaking countries. The name carries a youthful, fresh quality that aligns well with its etymological meaning relating to new growth and springtime.
