Chie Origin and Meaning

The name Chie is a girl's name.

Chie is a feminine Japanese name that carries significant cultural meaning. In Japanese, Chie (知恵 or 智恵) typically means 'wisdom' or 'intelligence,' though the exact meaning can vary depending on the kanji characters used to write it. The name is concise and elegant, reflecting traditional Japanese naming preferences for brevity and meaningful associations. Outside Japan, Chie remains relatively uncommon, maintaining its distinctive cultural identity. For parents seeking a name that combines simplicity with depth of meaning, Chie offers both qualities. Its single-syllable pronunciation in English (though properly two syllables in Japanese: 'chi-eh') makes it accessible while still honoring its Japanese origins.
