About Chancey
Chancey is a masculine name with French origins, derived from the Old French 'cheance' meaning 'luck' or 'fortune'. It developed as a variant of Chauncey, which came to England with the Norman Conquest. Historically, Chancey was more common as a surname than a first name. In the United States, it experienced minor popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but remains relatively uncommon today. The name carries connotations of luck and good fortune, with a somewhat old-fashioned, genteel quality. People named Chancey are often perceived as unique individuals with an air of distinction and perhaps a touch of good luck in their character.
Chancey is also given to girls.
Pronounced CHAN-see.
As of October 2026, Chancey ranked #9886 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #920 in 1883.
