Meaning & origin
Chayse is a modern respelling of the traditional name Chase. First recorded in the U.S. in 1982, the name saw its peak popularity in 2009, but has been steadily declining since 2010. With a current rank of 3848, it remains a relatively uncommon choice, given to about 1 in 61003 newborns in 2025. As with many respelled names, Chayse allows parents to personalize a familiar sound while maintaining its English origins.
Chayse is a modern respelling of the name Chase, which originated as an English occupational surname for a huntsman, from the Old French 'chacier' (to hunt). The surname Chase was occasionally used as a given name in the United States since the 19th century, but the spelling Chayse is a late 20th-century innovation, part of a trend of substituting 'y' and 'e' to create distinctive versions of common names.
