Chessie

Chessie is a diminutive derived from Chester, an English place name with roots in the Roman military camp 'castra'. The name traveled across England, associated with fortified settlements and a sense of grounded security. Its gentle sound, however, softened the fortress's edge, making it a more personal endearment.
