Chaise

Meaning of Chaise

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.
