Looks like it's not currently supported in bokeh.charts natively. Could you make a feature request issue on GitHub for this? In the mean time you could create a histogram "by hand" using the slightly lower level bokeh.plotting interface.

Does bokeh support histograms with character/non-numeric column types ?
Sample -
from bokeh.sampledata.autompg import autompg as df
hist = Histogram(df['name'])
show(hist)
Pandas plotting supports it -
df['name'].value_counts().plot(kind='barh')
