The Chelishchevs are a family of Russian nobility, known from the end of the 15th century.


Origin

The surname may come from the Turkic (Kazan–Tatar) nickname Chalysh, which means "oblique". In the 16th and 17th centuries, many of the Chelishchev nobles clearly had Turkic nicknames (such as, for example, Alai, Bulysh, Enaklych, Kulush, Sarmak, etc.), which may indicate an eastern origin. The knowledge of the Turkic languages is also indicated by the fact that in the years 1533–1542 the Chelishchev brothers were constantly sent to the
