Chanse
Meaning of Chanse
Chanse, pronounced /tʃæns/, is a male given name that operates as an orthographic variant of the established Chance, whose roots lie in the Old French cheance—“luck, fortune”—and extend to Vulgar Latin *cadentia from Latin cadere, “to fall.” In Anglo-American naming practice, Chanse conveys notions of circumstantial opportunity and measured risk, its final –e granting it a distinctive precision within a familiar lexical framework. United States Social Security data illustrate its relative rarity: in 2024 ten male infants were registered with the name, yielding a national rank of 914, a position that has oscillated between ranks 900 and 933 since 2018 and represents a gradual descent from mid-20th-century heights near rank 675 in 1984. This measured adoption pattern underscores its appeal to those seeking an appellation defined by etymological depth, analytical clarity and contemporary singularity.
