Chari, pronounced CHA-ree, is a small name with a generous spirit. Most trace her lineage to the Greek charis, “grace,” while others hear an echo of the French chérie, “beloved,” so she arrives carrying both kindness and affection in her suitcase. She first tiptoed onto U.S. birth records in the post-war years, rode a gentle wave through the tie-dye seventies, and now appears only in rare, glitter-like flashes—perfect for parents hunting a familiar sound that won’t be called three times at preschool pickup. Chari’s two crisp syllables feel as light as a dandelion seed, yet her meaning invites big-hearted generosity, a virtue the world can always use more of. She slips easily beside classic middles like Elizabeth or modern surprises like Willow and moves comfortably from jungle gym to corner office, proving that grace never goes out of style.
