Chee — boys' name

What the Data Says About Chee

The Social Security Administration has registered 325 babies named Chee between 1920 and 2001, spanning 82 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Chee currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2001. The name reached its historical peak in 1991, when 22 babies received it in a single year. Chee is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 209 additional births since 1978.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Chee performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 138 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Chee shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 50 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Arizona and Wisconsin. In total, SSA state-level files list Chee in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chee 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 325 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
