Chee over time
How old is the name Chee?
Chee first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1920, which makes it about 105 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 39 of the 106 years since. It was last recorded in 2001.
How many people are named Chee?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 534 American births named Chee 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 437 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Chee in 2025?
Chee was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Is Chee a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Chee is a unisex name — 39.1% of the 534 Americans given it were girls and 60.9% were boys. It changed hands: since 1993 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that.
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 Chee?
Roughly 437 Americans named Chee are alive today — 82% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 36 years old, and half are between 33 and 42. That is a narrow band: Chee arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.
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.
