How old the living Chloes are

born that year still alive today

Of the 254,741 babies given the name since 1880, about 248,000 are alive — 98 in every hundred. Roughly 146,000 of them are children and 760 are 65 or over. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 2009 and half after.

An estimate, not a count. SSA births aged forward through SSA cohort life tables, which know nothing about who left the country or arrived in it — so for a name that mostly came to America rather than being born in it, this is a floor rather than a figure. Where you fall among living Americans.

All the names of 2009

Chloe elsewhere

Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Chloe: births by region

Parts of a country counted above, not extra births. The share is what makes the regions comparable: they differ in size by a factor of three hundred.

By canton, Chloe is most concentrated in Jura, where 0.60% of children were given it – 87 of them.

Chloe: rank by region

In 2025, Chloe was given 5 times or more in 5 regions of Belgium.

In 2024, Chloe was among the 10 most common names in 1 region of Spain.

In 2024, Chloe was among the 10 most common names in 2 regions of Italy.

In 2025, Chloe was given 2 times or more in 5 regions of Poland.

In 2025, with the country taken in 11 areas rather than 3, Chloe appears in the lists for Province of Flemish Brabant (19th), Province of Liège (30th), Province of Namur (36th), Province of Hainaut (37th), Brussels-Capital Region (41st), Province of Walloon Brabant (42nd), Province of Limburg (53rd), Province of Antwerp (60th), Province of West Flanders (120th) and Province of East Flanders (154th).

Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Belgium below 5 children, Spain after 10 names, Italy after 10 names, Poland below 2 children – and published nothing after. So a region missing here is one where the name fell outside what was published, not one where it went unused. Places are shared where names tie, and the further down a list a place is, the more names can share it.

Chloe by city

One city over a few years, so these are much smaller numbers than the national ones above and not comparable with them.

Chloe among the living

How many people each country's register counts under the name, rather than how many were given it in any one year. Each register was read on one date, and they are not the same date.

A count of people on a register – the Netherlands on 1 January 2018, Finland on 4 August 2026 – and not of births, so it cannot be compared with the figures above. Names with very few bearers are withheld, and a dash in the first-forename column means the register would not say rather than that nobody goes by it.

Where Chloe lives in Spain

Not a count of births but of people: 15,490 women called Chloe were living in Spain on 1 January 2025, of every age, born in any year. Where they live is not spread evenly.

Women: the provinces where it is densest
