Etymology
The name Chettisham is first attested around 1170, as Chetesham. The first element is thought to derive from the Common Brittonic word that survives in modern Welsh as Script error: No such module "Lang". ("wood"). This became a place-name in its own right. Adopted into Old English, that place-name (itself now lost) was then included (in the genitive case) in the name of a neighbouring settlement though the addition of the Old English word Script error: No such module "Lang". ("home, estate, farm"). Thus the name once meant "farm at the place called Chet".[2][3]Template:Rp
