What the Data Says About Chapin

The Social Security Administration has registered 233 babies named Chapin between 1922 and 2015, spanning 94 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Chapin currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2015. The name reached its historical peak in 1986, when 14 babies received it in a single year. Chapin is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 45 additional births since 1991.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Chapin performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 79 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Chapin shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chapin in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 233 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
