Bathed in the soft glow of Mediterranean sunsets, the name Chaise emerges from the Old French word for “chair,” itself born of the Latin cathedra, conjuring marble-throned cathedrals and sunlit courtyards where every traveler found solace; pronounced in English as “shayz” and in French as “shez,” it carries both the daring heartbeat of a chase and the tender promise of repose. Unisex in its grace, Chaise has drifted through American birth records since the early 1980s—hovering near the nine-hundredth rank and most recently gracing nine newborns in 2024—yet its rarity only deepens its poetic allure, as if each child bearing the name were a secret melody whispered between cradle and horizon. Within its gentle syllables lies the elegant architecture of support and the beckoning of distant journeys, weaving a narrative that invites every bearer to rest in their own strength even as they step boldly toward new dreams.
