What is the meaning of the name Cheny ?

Cheny is in Origin.

Cheny most plausibly functions as a streamlined variant of Cheney/Chaney, an English surname derived from Old French chesnai, “oak grove,” introduced to Britain by the Normans. As a given name it is a modern, rare, largely unisex choice that surfaced in English-speaking registers in the late 20th century, echoing the broader trend of repurposing surnames and simplifying spellings. The oak imagery lends associations of durability and rootedness.

In a different cultural path, Cheny may reflect a compressed pinyin rendering of Chinese names like Chenyi (e.g., 晨怡, 宸艺, 晨义), or a creative blend with the common surname Chen (陈/陳). Here the meaning depends entirely on the chosen characters - ranging from “morning/dawn” (晨) and “royal residence” (宸) to “art” (艺) or “joy” (怡). Related forms and spellings include Cheney, Chaney, Cheni, and Chenny; short forms may be Che or Chen.
