Charise is a warm star in a galaxy of names, shining with a soft shuh-REES that means “grace.” Rooted in ancient Greek charis and carried through Latin gratia, it drapes an elegant cloak of kindness and light. In myth, the Charites were three radiant sisters who spun joy and creativity into the world—just like any girl named Charise might sprinkle her own magic. Finding a little Charise is like discovering a hidden seashell on a quiet beach—an unexpected delight. It never climbed high on the charts, peaking modestly in California during the ’60s through ’90s, but its rarity only adds to its allure.
