Chaise is English in Origin.

Chaise (pronounced CHAYS) is a modern English given name, a stylistic respelling of the surname-derived Chase. The underlying root reaches back to Anglo-Norman and Old French chacier “to hunt, pursue,” which entered Middle English as chase, the hunt or the act of pursuing. As a result, Chaise carries the sense of hunter, huntsman, or pursuit. Its spelling is often associated with the French noun chaise “chair,” as in chaise longue, but that is a separate word and not the source of the name’s meaning.

As a given name, the base form Chase appears sporadically in the United States from the 19th century and rises sharply in the late 20th and early 21st centuries amid the surname-as-first-name trend. Chaise emerges more recently as a sleek, boutique variant. Usage is primarily masculine but not exclusively. Related forms include Chase, Chace, Chayse, Chayce; longer options include Chasen and Chason.
