Is Chynna a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Chynna: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Chynna, and how old are they?
2,220 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 2,263 Americans ever recorded as Chynna. The median Chynna alive today is 30 years old; half are between 27 and 34.
The 2020 Census counted 1,856 people named Chynna (1,850 women and girls, 6 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,215 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 16 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 1,300 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 819 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 91 |
An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Chynna is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Chynna is most over-represented in New York: since 1979 it was given 1.1 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Chynna with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 17,677 babies since 1880, Chynna is the fourth most given (13% of them). In 2025 none of their 35 babies recorded by SSA was a Chynna (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
