Chauncy, pronounced CHAWN-see, carries the heartbeat of medieval France into today’s world, weaving la buena fortuna into every syllable. Rooted in the Old French word for “chance” or “good luck” and embraced in English courts centuries ago, this unisex gem hums with the promise of serendipitous encuentros and roads yet to be wandered. It dances across the tongue like a flamenco echo in sunlit plazas, and though it graces fewer than ten newborns in the United States each year—hovering near the nine-hundredth spot—its rarity only deepens its allure. With a warmth reminiscent of a Mediterranean breeze and a lighthearted wink—like a mischievous compañero whispering “Adelante, explore!”—Chauncy invites each child who bears it to step boldly into life’s unexpected gifts.
