Meaning and origin of Chasity
Chasity is an English and American (modern coinage) name that is usually said to mean “form of Chastity; purity”.
Chasity is a variant of Chastity, the English virtue name meaning "purity," from Latin castitas. Chastity was used by Puritans in the seventeenth century along with other virtue names. The Chasity spelling, without the T, reflects a common pronunciation and became used in the United States in the late twentieth century. Pronounced CHAS-ih-tee, it has a soft, gentle sound. Chas and Chassie are possible nicknames. Chasity suits parents who like virtue names with a contemporary spelling, though some may prefer the original Chastity for its clear meaning.
