==Etymology== The name Chetwode is first attested in a charter of 949 (preserved in a seventeenth-century copy) as Cetwuda, and then in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Ceteode. The first part of the name comes from the Brittonic word corresponding to modern Welsh ('wood'), expanded with the Old English word , of the same meaning.
