Chey — boys' name

What the Data Says About Chey

The Social Security Administration has registered 76 babies named Chey between 1974 and 2006, spanning 33 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Chey currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2006. The name reached its historical peak in 1993, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Chey is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 72 additional births since 1977.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Chey performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 42 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Chey shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chey 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 76 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
