Name Meaning
English (Gloucestershire): of uncertain origin. Formally it might derive from Middle English ches, chesse (Old French esches) ‘chess’ (referring to the game, a set of chess pieces, or a chess board), or from Middle English chesse ‘(poppy) seed pod’. This surname is now rare in Britain.
