Chai is a masculine name of Hebrew origin and a form of Chaim with a visceral, enriching quality. Igniting the senses in one breath, Chai's short and sweet nature conjures images of the fragrant Indian tea. It may come as no surprise then for those infatuated with the restorative drink that Chai means "living" or "alive." A name bursting with energy like this is certainly hard to resist, much like the gorgeous spiced tea!
