Historical Context
Chaise is a French word derived from an earlier form related to a seat or chair, ultimately tracing back to Latin cathedra. In English, it has long been used for a type of light horse-drawn carriage and is pronounced SHAYZ. Its use as a personal name appears modern and limited. Some parents may use it as a spelling linked to Chase, but Chaise does not share Chase's established surname history or its Old French hunting derivation.
