In Latin American usage, particularly Mexico, Chay can be a diminutive of names like Santiago. The name has gained some recognition through figures like Chay Blyth, the Scottish sailor. Phonetically straightforward yet visually distinctive with its 'ch' beginning, Chay offers simplicity with character. Its single-syllable structure aligns with contemporary preferences for concise names.
