Chez — boys' name

What the Data Says About Chez

The Social Security Administration has registered 114 babies named Chez between 1980 and 2019, spanning 40 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Chez currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 1982, when 15 babies received it in a single year. Chez is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 27 additional births since 1970.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Chez performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 71 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Chez shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chez 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 114 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
