The Greek pronunciation is actually Haos (with a heavy H like hotel), so this is where H is coming from. It’s the C that is actually added in order for English to attempt to pronounce it closer to the original sound (and fail as per usual. Look up paranoia for example).
So it is! I don’t know why I remembered it as kaos (καος with the accent somewhere, I don’t know Greek, modern or ancient). It’s χάος. Makes total sense.
