Chanse is English in Origin.

Chanse is a modern respelling of Chance, an English word-name with roots in Old French chance (earlier cheance), via Middle English chaunce, ultimately from Late Latin cadentia, from cadere “to fall, befall.” The core meaning is “luck,” “good fortune,” or an event that happens by chance, with a contemporary sense of opportunity and risk-taking. In some cases it also functions as a clipped form of the surname-given name Chauncey, borne by Norman settlers from a French place-name.

As a given name, Chance appears in American records by the 19th century and rose sharply from the 1980s onward; Chanse emerged later as a rare phonetic variant. Usage is chiefly masculine but not exclusively so. Related forms and spellings include Chance, Chantz, and Chanz; cognates include Chauncey; short forms such as Chan occur. The name blends laid-back modern style with medieval linguistic pedigree.
