Chas — boys' name

What the Data Says About Chas

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,213 babies named Chas between 1880 and 2025, spanning 146 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Chas currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2025. The name reached its historical peak in 1915, when 99 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Chas performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 576 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Chas shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 60 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Chas in 16 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chas 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 3,213 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
