Chae is a Korean given name that carries a unique charm and elegance. Pronounced as 'chah-eh', it consists of two distinct characters: '차' (cha) which means 'vehicle' or 'means of transport', and '애' (ae) signifying 'love' or 'affection'. Together, they form a name that embodies a harmonious blend of dynamism and warmth. In Korean culture, names often hold profound meanings, and Chae is no exception, bearing the graceful connotation of love in motion.
The name Chae appears to have been quite popular among parents from the late 1970s to the early 2000s, with a notable spike in usage between 1987 and 1991, reaching its peak in 1989 with 10 births that year. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor since then, as there were fewer than 10 births per year from 1993 onwards, with only two years (2004 and possibly 1976) having more than 5 births each in the 21st century. Overall, there were a total of 148 babies named Chae between 1972 and 2004.
