Oak grove or camp of the castle
Chesney is a surname-derived name with two primary etymological paths. It stems from the Old French word 'chesnaie', meaning a grove of oak trees, or potentially from the English 'ceaster', referring to a Roman camp or fortress. While historically used for both genders, it has gained modern traction as a feminine choice.
