Chenery

Chenery is a proper noun most commonly encountered as a surname. In encyclopedia-style references, it is treated as a family name of English origin. The precise etymology is not definitively established in widely available sources, and scholars sometimes classify it as a toponymic surname linked to an unidentified locale or landscape feature. The name has appeared in English-language records from the early modern period and has since spread to other English-speaking countries through migration and colonization.

As a surname, Chenery has been borne by individuals in various professions, including academia, business, and public life. Because this is a surname with no single widely recognized bearer, there is no single topic dominating the name in contemporary reference works. Consequently, articles about Chenery typically identify notable people who bear the surname or discuss works and institutions named after them, if reliable sources establish their significance.
