Origin · Source

Chad was originally a common English male name, but internet communities used it as a stereotype for a popular, attractive, confident alpha-male figure. The exact starting point is hard to pin down, but the term spread widely through Virgin vs. Chad memes around the mid-2010s and later became more flexible: sometimes sincere praise, sometimes parody, and sometimes criticism of exaggerated masculinity.
