Chloe

Description

Chloe (/ˈkloʊi/;^[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.
