Is Chez a real name

[peaceinourtime]

Morning all, I heard of the name Chez for the first name yesterday, I had never heard of it before. Is it a real name or is it a shorting of a name?
Please advise 😊

Or Shell for Michelle

This is hilarious 😂

It's a Native American name and very popular in Mexico.

I know a male Chez, its Polish - I think possibly a shortening. Pronouced with a Ch and in Chesney, rather than Sh in French Chez.

Cherokee is the name of a tribal group . Not a personal name. Indigenous to parts of North Carolina and Tennessee. I've never heard of it as a Mexican name which either have a Spanish or Nahuatl influence.

Again, it's a popular name in Mexico.

The fact you don't know this is neither here nor there really.

Have a read if you want.

April, May and June are all months of the year but it doesn't stop people naming their kids.

That wasn't his real name it was a nickname meaning 'pal'.

Yes, me too.

Interesting, thank you all for sharing your insights.

Yes this

As I said and still stand by "Poor kid".

I am sure her parents like her name, the same way the parents of Waynes and Balonzs like the names they chose and I would think Poor Kid then too.

🤷‍♀️

I guess this may fall into a cultural appropriation rabbit hole now.
