Chimere First Name Meaning

Chimere is a female name of French origin, meaning "dream." The name is associated with the Anglican ecclesiastical garment worn by bishops in choir dress, known as a chimere. It is a long sleeveless gown made of silk or satin, traditionally colored scarlet or black, and worn over the rochet as part of formal vesture. The garment's history can be traced back to the Roman Senators and shares similarities with the mediaeval tabard. In the academic context, a modified version of the chimere is prescribed at the University of Oxford for doctors in Convocation Dress. The name Chimere evokes a sense of aspiration and vision, reflecting the significance of dreams and symbolism associated with the elegant attire worn by Anglican bishops.
