Chun — boys' name

What the Data Says About Chun

The Social Security Administration has registered 98 babies named Chun between 1974 and 2000, spanning 27 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Chun currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2000. The name reached its historical peak in 1984, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Chun is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 22 additional births since 1942.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Chun performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 46 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Chun shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Chun 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 98 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
