Chloe, a Greek name that means "green shoot," is a beautiful nature-inspired name that refers to new plant growth, especially in the spring. In Greek mythology, Chloe was an epithet of Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest, fertility, and the earth. The name was popular in the early 1920s, but didn't truly catch on in the United States until the 1990s. It has now been a top-50 girl's name every year since 2000 and even spent four years (2008-11) in the top-10. It's the name singer-actress Olivia Newton-John and actor Matt Lattanzi gave their daughter, Chloe Rose, in 1986
