Chessa is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Chessa in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Chessa in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Chessa by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Chessa ranks at #10,029. That means there are 10,028 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Chessa.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Chessa. Girls named Chessa have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 3,601 Chessa ranked higher than ever before in 1978. By comparison, there have been 100 years in which the first name Chessa has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2021. In general, parents name their daughters Chessa only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Chessa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if tehre are at least five people with that name living there – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few women and girls called Chessa living in one state or another (if your name is Chessa and you live outside of , we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, so we can refine our statistics even further). Which means – if you put this number in relation to the population of the USA – only one in 2,982,583 girls and women would turn around if you called out the name Chessa. So, if your name is Chessa it is very likely that you won’t need a nickname in your peer group, because having the name Chessa already makes you special.
