A name that means "blooming, green shoot".

Khloe is a modern variant spelling of Chloe — from the Greek khlóē (χλόη), meaning "young green shoot" or "new bloom." Chloe was an epithet of the goddess Demeter, referring to the spring growth of grain.

The K- spelling rose with Khloe Kardashian's prominence on reality TV in the late 2000s and is now firmly established. Today Khloe sits in the U.S. top 75.

Where Khloe stands.

Khloe does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
