チャイム (chaimu, "bell") comes from English chime, a word transmitted through Middle English from Old French with a possible connection to bell sounds.

The English verb chime also means to agree or fit well, as in ideas that chime with each other, so chime carries meanings beyond the signaling bell sense of Japanese チャイム (chaimu).
