The surname Chinnery is of Anglo-Norman origin, tracing back to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It is derived from the Old Norman personal name Chenier or "Cheney. Over time, this name morphed into Chinnery through an English linguistic process known as metathesis, where the order of sounds or letters in a word, or words in a phrase, is transposed.
The Chinnery family first settled in Ireland following the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Their original territory was in the southeastern county of Wexford, where they became major landowners. Over time, many members of the Chinnery family migrated to other parts of Ireland and England.
The Chinnerys were known to be involved in various professions, including politics, law, and the arts. They were also known to have intermarried with other prominent Anglo-Irish families, further cementing their standing in society.
In the 17th century, during the Plantation of Ulster, some branches of the Chinnery family were dispossessed of their lands. Some members of the family emigrated to America and other parts of the British Empire. Today, the Chinnery surname can be found in many parts of the world, but its roots remain firmly in Ireland.
