ArchivesRe: My name
in reply to a message by Amphelise
It is not unusual for an unvoiced |ch| to be corrupted to a voiced |j| sound. There is further support in that Chauncey is a variation of Chance, which rhymes with the |Jance| part of the name. |-y| in both cases would likely be the familiar/diminutive form of the names.
In naming cultures that are based, primarily, on euphony, there is no compulsion to maintain spelling and pronunciation standards.
See LATHAN for a more extreme example.
Admittedly, it IS a SWAG.* Feel free to offer other/better ideas...
