Challyce is English in Origin.

Challyce is a modern English given name, a creative respelling of Chalice, the word for a ceremonial cup. The noun entered Middle English via Old French calice, ultimately from Latin calix (“cup, goblet”), itself from Greek kylix, a two-handled drinking vessel. As a name, it carries associations with the Eucharistic chalice and the mythic Holy Grail, suggesting sanctity, celebration, and a vessel of preciousness.

Rare in historical records as a personal name, Challyce appears sporadically from the late twentieth century in Anglophone countries, chosen for its spiritual resonance and graceful sound. It is used chiefly for girls but remains technically unisex. Close variants include Chalice, Chalise, Chaliece, Chalyse, and Chalyce; related cognates are French Calice and the Latin-derived Calix (more often masculine). The -yce ending may also echo Alice, reinforcing a refined, lyrical impression.
