Chasen
Meaning of Chasen
Chasen is a masculine given name of English origin, functioning as a modern variant of the medieval surname Chase—derived from the Old French chacier, meaning ‘to hunt’—and thus evoking associations with active pursuit and determination; pronounced CHAY-suhn (/ˈtʃeɪ.sən/), the name first appears in United States birth records in the mid-1970s, attaining its highest rank of 656th with 32 occurrences in 1983 and subsequently undergoing a measured decline to its 2024 placement at 895th with 29 recorded instances. Though it has not breached the top 500 male names, Chasen has sustained a consistent presence in the Social Security Administration’s annual data, underscoring its appeal within Anglo-American naming conventions as a technically grounded yet distinct choice. In onomastic and genealogical analyses, its moderate but steady usage reflects a balance between historical etymology and modern individuality, making Chasen a name that conveys both linguistic heritage and contemporary sensibility.
