It is a family name that comes from an old spelling of "de la chênaie", meaning "from the wood of oak trees".
The word is now feminine, but used to be masculine when spelled "chesnay". A small town near Versailles is called "Le (masc.) Chesnay".
"oak" = "chêne".
Many family names indicated where the family was from, for instance "Dupont" means "from the bridge".
