Sanchae is Korean in Origin.

Sanchae carries two distinct etymologies. In the Iberian tradition it aligns with Sancha, from medieval Latin Sancia/Sanctia “holy, sacred.” The spelling Sanchae appears in Latin charters as the genitive (“of Sancha”), and has been adopted occasionally as a stylistic variant. The name was borne by several medieval queens and infantas of León, Castile, Aragon, and Portugal. Related forms include Sancha (standard Spanish/Portuguese), Sancia (Latin/Italian), and the masculine Sancho; the surname Sánchez derives from the same root.

In Korean, Sanchae (산채) is a native word meaning “mountain vegetables; wild greens,” and, as a modern given name, can be built from hanja such as San 山/珊/産 (“mountain; coral; birth”) and Chae 彩/采/菜 (“color; gather; greens”). Depending on characters chosen, meanings range from “mountain color” to “radiant coral” or “fruitful birth.” Usage is rare and largely unisex. Variants: San-chae (hyphenated), Sanchae.
