Chas over time
How old is the name Chas?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Chas is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 119 of the 146 years since.
How many people are named Chas?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,223 American births named Chas between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 1,250 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Chas in 2025?
5 American babies were named Chas in 2025, ranking #24,763 that year.
Is Chas getting more or less popular?
Chas is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 5 births a year across 2021–2025 against 8 a year a decade earlier — at these counts a single baby moves the percentage, and any year under five births is withheld at source.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Is Chas a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Chas is a boy’s name — 0.3% of the 3,223 Americans given it were girls and 99.7% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 0% girls and 100% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
How old is someone named Chas?
Roughly 1,250 Americans named Chas are alive today — 39% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 37 years old, and half are between 30 and 43.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
