Chicoine is used as a family name or surname in United States. It is 8 characters long in length.

Family Name / Last Name: Chicoine
No. of characters: 8
Origin: United States
Meaning: The name is taken in Brittany (22, 56) and in the Indre-et-Loire, where is the Chicoisne variant. Other forms: Chicouane (72, 49) Chicouène (22, 56). Diminutives: Chicoineau, Chicoisneau (37, 41). Uncertain meaning. A reconciliation is often considered with the verb "quibble" (= prosecute) of obscure origin and appeared in the writings of Villon in 1460. It could therefore be a nickname given to a litigious person or lawyer (there is also the Chicanne names in Yonne, Chicane at the Meeting and Chicanneau in the Vosges and Haute-Saône). However, another solution appears possible, even preferable: a nickname related to the stork, with transformation of its initial s in c. The name was sometimes written Chicoisne Chicoigne the seventeenth century. Nor will we forget the Breton equivalent of "stork" is "this hwibon". And so, it seems possible to reconcile Chicoine of Sigoigne, name borne in Vendée, and related forms Sigogne, Sigognault (49) Sigogneau (85), especially as the family name Sigoigneau, attested in La Rochelle in 1371, strongly resembles Chicoineau.
