butt chin

Chin with groove

A butt chin is a chin with a visible cleft or dimple in the center, creating two rounded sections that resemble buttocks.

The term is informal and often mildly teasing: He's self-conscious about his butt chin.

Also called a cleft chin or dimpled chin in more neutral contexts.
