Origin:Modern
Meaning:Chitter chatter sounds
Chistery is a modern masculine name created by the author of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Gregory Maguire. Borne by the lovable leader of the flying monkeys, the name Chistery comes from the chitter-chatter sounds the character makes: "The monkey, who was called Chistery because of the sound he made, chittered and chattered now that he was warm and safe." Chistery also features in the musical adaptation Wicked, where his full name is Chistery Nikko in honor of the flying monkey Nikko in The Wizard of Oz. If you're looking for a unique musical and literature-inspired name to crown your kiddo and help them take flight, Chistery is a sweet and endearing choice.
