Chiene Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Of Norman origin from Quesney near Coutances, a place name meaning 'oak-plantation.' The Scots family is believed to be a branch of the house of Cheyne or Cheyney of Buckinghamshire. Ricardus de Chenai witnessed gift by Hucdredus filius Fergus to the Hospital of St. Peter of York c. 1158—64 (Edgar, p. 219). But the earliest of the name in Scotland appears to have been William de Chesne, witness to a charter by William the Lion, a. 1200 (LSC., 33). Some of the early charter writers confused chene, 'oak,' with chien, 'dog,' and so erroneously Latinized the name canis. William le Chen had a protection while in the king of England's service beyond seas, 1230 (Bain, I, 1089). There were three Reginalds in succession, all figures of great importance in their day: (1) Reginald, a nephew of John Balliol of Badenoch, sheriff of Kincardine, 1242, in 1267 appointed chamberlain (camerarius) of Scotland; (2) Sir Reginald who held the thanage of Fermartyn as 'firmarius' in 1286, and rendered homage in 1296; (3) Reginald the third and last of that name in succession was one of the signers of the barons' letter to the pope, April, 1320. His line ended in two daughters, co-heiresses, Mary and Margaret or Marjory. By the marriage of Mary with John Keith of Inventgy the Keiths obtained a footing in Caithness. Margaret Chein, before 1370, had from David II a charter of the lands of Strathbrok and the half of Cathness (RMS., I, App. II, 1537). Henry le Chen was bishop of Aberdeen for the long period of forty-six years, 1282—1328 (REA., I, p. xxvi-xxviii), and Freskyn de Chen appears as decanus Aberdonensis, 1321 (ibid., I, p. 47). Sir Reginald de Chen petitioned Edward I in 1305 for two hundred oaks to build his manor of Dufhous (Bain, IV, p. 375). The Cheynes of Esselmont are descended from marriage of Janet Marshall, heiress of Essilmonte (end of fourteenth century) to Chene of Straloch. Thomas Chyne appears in Reddene, 1567 (Kelso, p. 522), and John Chyine was trade burgess in Aberdeen, 1666, and Gavin Chisnie the same in 1669 (ROA., I, p. 235—236). In the United States the name appears to have become Chinn. Chayne 1600, Cheen 1687, Scheyne 1649.
