Chancey is a unique and distinctive given name, derived from the French surname 'de Chancie', which translates to 'of chance'. It was originally an occupational name for someone who worked in chance or gambling establishments. In recent years, Chancey has gained popularity as a unisex given name, though it remains quite rare.
