Chais is in Origin.

Chais is a modern given name found in English-speaking countries, most often interpreted as a creative variant of Chase or as a spelling influenced by the Hebrew chai (“life”). If taken from Chase (from Old French chacier “to hunt”), it carries the meaning “hunter” or “to chase.” If linked to Hebrew chai, it conveys the positive wish “life.” The French word chai/chais (a wine storehouse) may also color the name’s look, though it is rarely a direct source.

Usage is recent and rare, appearing chiefly from the late 20th century onward, primarily for boys but sometimes unisex. It overlaps with Jewish names like Chaim/Chayim (“life”) and with English nicknames Chas/Chaz (from Charles). Related or variant forms include Chai, Chay, Chas, Chaz, Chase, Chace, and Chaise; see also the distinct sound-alike Shay. Chais offers a sleek, modern profile with uplifting or energetic meanings.
