Chaunce is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from the Middle English word 'chauns', meaning 'chance' or 'fortune'. The name Chaunce is believed to have emerged during the medieval period and was likely used as a personal name due to its association with luck or good fortune. Today, it remains quite rare but continues to be used sparingly, adding a unique touch to those who bear it.
"Chaunce appears to have been popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a peak of 13 births in 1994. However, it has since become quite rare, with only five births recorded between 2002 and 2005."
