Chester
Chester Origin and Meaning
Chester is a comfortable, little-used teddy-bear of a name that suddenly sounds both quirky and cuddly.
Chester was a Top 100 name in the US from the 1880s to 1929, gradually fading till it finally dropped off the list completely in 1995. But it's popular now in England and Wales, where it ranks in the Top 100
Chester has been seen on old TV shows like Gunsmoke and The Life of Riley, then reappeared later on The Nanny and The Wire. Chester Alan Arthur made it presidential, it was a World War II hero via Admiral Chester Nimitz, the comic world associates it with Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy, and it has modern musical ties to Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have a son named Chester.
Nickname Chet has, like Hank, a friendly retro vibe.
