The chloride ion is the same as the chlorine ion. They both refer to the same chemical entity, in this case Cl^1-. However, the usage of the term chloride has a very specific application in which you cannot use the term chlorine ion.
The name chloride is part of the system of nomenclature that we use to name binary compounds (compounds that are composed of only two elements). The element that is more electronegative is written last in the formula and the ending -ide is added to the root of the name of the element.
eg. NaCl sodium chloride
H2S hydrogen sulfide
CO2 carbon dioxide

nobody call chlorine ion, it's chloride ion. All matter is made up of atoms consisting of a core of positively charged particles called protons and neutral particles called neutrons, surrounded by an orbital field of an equal number of negatively charged particles called electrons. Forces in the orbital field of electrons drive atoms to acquire orbital stability. There are two mechanisms to achieve orbital stability: 1) the gain or loss of electrons, or 2) the sharing of electrons between atoms. The first mechanism leads to the formation of ions. Since ions have more or less electrons than protons, they have either a negative or positive charge, respectively. Negative ions (called anions) associate with positive ions (called cations) to form ionic compounds. The second mechanism, sharing of electron between atoms, leads to the formation of uncharged covalent molecules. Chlorine stabilizes by gaining an electron and acquires a negative charge (Cl-). If, on the other hand, chlorine atoms acquire stability by sharing electrons then they form a covalent compound, Cl2, elemental chlorine.
Binary is two. A binary compound contains two different elements

When chlorine ionizes to Cl-, that is the chloride ion. All monatomic anions get the ending -ide (oxide, nitride, fluoride, iodide, phosphide, etc.).

A binary compound is a compound consisting of only two different elements, e.g. NaCl, CO2, C2H6.

There is no such thing as chlorine ion because chloride ion
is already chlorine standing by itself thats why its called chlor-ide.

chloride refers to chlorine ion.
but chlorine ion is usually referred when the salt has dissociated in the solution so that the anion and cations are free. and chlorine exists asCl(-) in the solution
there is nothing as chloride ion.
hope this answers it
