Meaning & Origin

Chasity is a girl's and boy's baby name, a variant spelling of Chastity, from the Latin castitas meaning 'purity, modesty, chasteness.' As a virtue name, Chastity was adopted by Puritan communities in the 17th century and has remained in occasional use as a name of moral aspiration.

The Chasity spelling is more common in modern usage than the original Chastity. While virtue names are an old tradition, Chasity gives this one a more accessible, contemporary feel — a name with deep historical roots and a personal, feminine quality.
