Origin of Chad
Origin 1: Uncertain; possibly from the English slang term chat (“louse”). The word predates the chadless punch, which therefore cannot be its origin,[1] and a derivation from Scots chad (“river gravel”) stated in some dictionaries is now thought to be nothing more than guesswork.[2]
Origin 2: From ch- + had, from ich + had.
