Around the globe, Chinnappa (Chinnappa 
) is a common boy's first name. The given name Chinnappa is characteristic of India, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Kuwait, where it is a rare male name, and Singapore. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Much less frequently, Chinnappa is the last name as well as the forename.
