Choya — boys' name

What the Data Says About Choya

The Social Security Administration has registered 73 babies named Choya between 1951 and 1980, spanning 30 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Choya currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1980. The name reached its historical peak in 1979, when 11 babies received it in a single year. Choya is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 16 additional births since 1981.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Choya performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 37 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Choya shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Choya 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 73 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
