History & Origin

Chade is a rare girl's name built on Chad, from the Old English Ceadda. The original Ceadda belonged to a seventh-century English saint and bishop of Lichfield, and the name may trace to a word for 'battle.' Chad was a modest boy's favorite in the later twentieth century, and Chade borrows its sound for girls.

Chade was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its small peak in the mid-nineteen-eighties, and it appeared only briefly. A girl named Chade then is about forty today.

Did you know? Chade turns the usually masculine Chad into a girl's name with a single silent e, a small change that softens the whole feel.
