Meaning & origin
Chiffon is an extremely rare modern name, first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1961. It never entered the top 1000, and its peak year was 1979. The name has not seen any notable revival in recent decades. It is almost exclusively given to girls. While it appears in no state-level popularity lists, Chiffon remains an offbeat choice for parents drawn to fabric-inspired names.
Chiffon is a modern name derived from the French word for a sheer fabric. It first appeared as a given name in the United States in 1961, likely influenced by the fashion industry's adoption of fabric names. Use remains rare, with a slight peak in the 1970s.
