Ching — boys' name

What the Data Says About Ching

The Social Security Administration has registered 84 babies named Ching between 1982 and 1998, spanning 17 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Ching currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1998. The name reached its historical peak in 1994, when 12 babies received it in a single year. Ching is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 30 additional births since 1980.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ching performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 47 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Ching shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ching 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 84 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
