Chaz is English in Origin.
Chaz is an English nickname-turned-given-name derived from Charles. The name Charles traces to the Germanic Karl meaning “free man.” Chaz arose as a spoken spelling of “Chas.,” the older written short form for Charles, and benefitted from 20th-century tastes for crisp, z-ending nicknames.
It began appearing on U.S. birth records in the mid-1900s and saw wider use in the 1980s–90s, helped by athletes and entertainers, before settling into rare but familiar status. Chaz is chiefly masculine but occasionally used unisex. Variants include Chas and Chazz, with pet forms Chazzy; related forms are Charles, Charlie/Charley, Chuck, Karl/Carl, Carlo, Carlos, and Karol, plus feminine cognates Charlotte and Charlize. The core meaning remains “free man,” giving the name an easygoing, modern sound anchored by a classic heritage.
