ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

A direct English word-name use of "chosen," the past participle of the verb "choose," popularly understood as "one who is picked, selected, or the object of divine favor."

  1. Documented roots: A direct transfer of the English word "chosen" into given-name use; "chosen" is the past participle of the verb "choose," from Old English cēosan, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *keusanan. It is an aspirational/virtue word-name, not a name with an independent onomastic history, and should not be treated as though it carries an etymology separate from the ordinary English word.
