From the Old English name Ceadda which is of unknown meaning, possibly based on the Welsh word "cad" meaning "battle". Ceadda was the name of a 7th-century English saint. Borne primarily by Catholics, it was a rare name until the 1960s, when it started to become more common amongst the general population. This is also the name of a country in Africa, though it originates from a different source.[1]
According to the 2000 US census, the first name Chad was possessed by 0.165 percent of the population sample, 63.279 percent of the sample population was covered by Chad, and the name ranked 121st among all male first names in the sample in terms of frequency (e.g. 120 names occur more frequently than Chad).[2]
