In October 2020, Chase explained on Dixie D’Amelio’s YouTube show Early Late Show why LilHuddy became his stage name. He shared that the name was inspired by a nickname his family has called him all his life, stating that his dad is known as “Big Huddy.”

“My dad actually grew up being called ‘Huddy,’ and once I was born, my dad’s always wanted a son so he could call him ‘Little Huddy,’” Chase told Dixie. “So I’ve been called ‘Little Huddy’ since I was young… My great grandpa started calling my dad ‘Huddy.’”

After a few years of going by LilHuddy, Chase followed in his dad’s footsteps and only went by “Huddy.” Fans of the influencer’s social media accounts can see he has dropped the “Lil,” though he hasn’t shared why he decided to do so. However, reports suggest that Huddy is no longer a child, so “Lil” is unnecessary at his big age.
