Chalise (pronounced: /cha.li.se/) (Nepali: चालिसे) is a KhasHindu family name found in Nepal. Most people with this name are members of the Brahmincaste. According to legend, some priests of Bhattarai caste completed forty ('chalis' in Nepali) chapters of pujas without dropping a single drop of water from their palm. They were then honored with the title Chalise.
