Chesny Origin and Meaning

The name Chesny is a girl's name.

Chesny is a feminine name with Anglo-Saxon origins, evolving from English surnames that referred to locations where cheese was made or stored. The name combines 'ches' (from Old English 'cese' meaning 'cheese') with the suffix 'ny' (from 'eg' or 'ey' meaning 'island' or 'land'). This variation, with a single 's', offers a streamlined alternative to the more commonly seen Chessney spelling. The name has a bright, contemporary feel despite its historical roots. Chesny remains quite rare as a first name, giving it a distinctive quality that appeals to parents seeking something uncommon yet pronounceable. The name's short, two-syllable structure contributes to its accessibility while maintaining its unique character.
