The Story of Chasity
Chasity is an alternate spelling of Chastity, derived from the Latin castitas, meaning purity or moral cleanliness. The virtue name Chastity was adopted by Puritan and Christian communities to express religious ideals. The Chasity spelling emerged as an American phonetic variant, likely to avoid the direct virtue-word association while preserving the sound.
Chastity/Chasity had its peak popularity in the 1970s and 1980s in the United States, inspired partly by Sonny and Cher naming their daughter Chastity in 1969. The name has declined significantly since the 1990s but retains a nostalgic American quality.
As a virtue name, Chastity was embraced by Christian families throughout American history. Notably, Chastity Bono -- daughter of entertainers Sonny and Cher -- later came out as transgender and is now known as Chaz Bono, giving the name a new dimension in cultural conversation.
