Origin, Meaning, And History of Chase

Chase, a gender-neutral name, is debated as being of English or Old French origin. In the Middle English language, Chase is a surname, meaning ‘chase’ or ‘hunt.’ Interestingly, Chase was also used as a nickname for individuals who had gone hunting or were exceptionally good at hunting.

Etymologists speculate that Chase may have originated from the Old French word Chacier, implying ‘to catch’ or the Old French word Chasse. Surprisingly, the word “chasse” comes from the Old French word “chasser,” which means “to hunt,” and the Latin word “captare.”

Additionally, in the Southern French culture, Chase may be a topographic name for a person who has lived in or is a probable resident of the most unique house in the village. In this case, Chase is a southern derivative of the Latin word Casa, implying ‘cabin,’ ‘cottage,’ or ‘hut.’
