Meaning & origin
Chassie is a rare diminutive of the virtue name Chastity, reflecting the Puritan tradition of bestowing names that embody religious ideals. First recorded in 1915, the name saw its highest usage ever in 1984, with a small number of baby girls given the name that year. Despite never entering the top 1,000, Chassie has maintained a very stable, low level of use, appearing sporadically in birth records. It remains a distinctive and infrequent choice, appealing to parents seeking a vintage-style nickname name with a clear meaning.
Chassie is a diminutive of Chastity, which derives from the Latin 'castitas', meaning 'purity'. Chastity was adopted as a virtue name by Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries. Chassie emerged as an affectionate short form, particularly in the United States, where it saw modest use in the mid-to-late 20th century.
