Chuc is Vietnamese in Origin.

Chuc is the undiacritized form of the Vietnamese given name Chúc, from the Sino-Vietnamese reading of 祝 (zhù), “to wish, to bless, to toast, to pray.” It carries the sense of good wishes and benediction familiar from the phrase chúc mừng (“congratulations”). In Vietnam it appears as a unisex given name element, most often in two-part or three-part names, though it can stand alone; among the diaspora, diacritics are frequently omitted, yielding Chuc.

Usage is modern and auspicious, favored for children born around festive times or to express hopes for wellbeing and success. Variants and related choices include the fully marked Chúc and virtue names with similar intent such as Phúc (“blessing/fortune”), Lộc (“prosperity”), An (“peace”), and Khang (“health”). Note that Chuc is distinct from the English nickname Chuck. Unrelatedly, Chuc is also a common Yucatec Maya surname in Mexico, occasionally adopted as a given name.
