Boy name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Chace is a modern English variant of the surname Chase, which comes from the Old French *chace*, meaning “hunt” or “hunting ground” – originally a nickname for a huntsman. The name gained a dash of Hollywood glamour through actor Chace Crawford, best known for playing Nate Archibald in *Gossip Girl*. While no Scottish places bear the exact name, the root surfaces in place-names such as Chacewater in England, and the surname Chase is scattered across the UK. In Scotland, Chace remains a rare but stylish pick, far less common than Chase itself, and carries a brisk, contemporary feel that parents often pair with classic middle names for balance.
