Chai
Someone's given name
Chai is the word for tea in Hindi and many other languages, borrowed into English to mean spiced tea—typically black tea brewed with milk and a blend of warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
The phrase "chai tea" is redundant but common: I'll have a chai tea latte.
In American coffee shops, chai usually refers to this sweetened, spiced preparation rather than plain tea.
