Strong's Lexicon Chloé a prim. word: Chloe Original Word: Χλόη Word Origin: A primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Chloe, as it is a Greek name. However, the concept of a household or family reporting issues could be related to the Hebrew idea of a "house" (בַּיִת, bayit), which often signifies a family or lineage. Usage: The name "Chloe" is used in the New Testament as a proper noun, referring to a specific individual. In the context of the Bible, Chloe is mentioned as a person whose household had informed the Apostle Paul about divisions within the Corinthian church. Cultural and Historical Background: Chloe was likely a prominent woman in the early Christian community, possibly a leader or a person of influence. The mention of her household suggests she was a figure of some standing, possibly a patron or a host of a house church. In the Greco-Roman world, women like Chloe could have significant roles in the social and religious life of the community. The name "Chloe" itself means "green" or "young green shoot," which was a common name in Greek culture, often associated with fertility and new growth.
