Chene is a unisex name of French origin, drawn from the word chêne, meaning “oak,” and symbolizing strength and endurance. Pronounced shen (/ʃən/), it has appeared sporadically in U.S. birth records since the early 1970s, peaking in the mid-1980s with five to eleven annual occurrences and ranking between 756 and 850. Though rare, the name finds occasional use in francophone communities of Louisiana and carries a natural, grounded appeal that resonates with Latin American parents seeking a concise, gender-neutral choice.
