Chocque

Chocque is a toponym that may refer to a place name in French-speaking regions. There is no independently administered commune or municipality currently listed under the name “Chocque” in major national gazetteers. The closest attested locality is Chocques, a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France, and historical references to “Chocque” often appear as variant spellings connected to that area.

Historically, the form “Chocque” occurs in charters and early maps where it likely referred to a hamlet or parcel within the wider Chocques territory. In contemporary geography, if the name is encountered, it is generally treated as a former or informal toponym rather than an official administrative unit.

The etymology of the name is not definitively established; like many French toponyms, it is believed to derive from medieval settlement names and could reflect geographical or landholding features present in the region during the Middle Ages.
