history
The place name originated from the Gallic word Cassano and a Latin place name broadcast. Cassano means something like oak forest . Chenois was first mentioned in 1505 as Chanoy .
In the Middle Ages and the Ancien Régime, Chenois consisted of two parts, one belonging to the Barony of Viviers , which belonged to the County of Salm and from the 14th century to the Marquisate of Pont-à-Mousson , which in turn belonged to the Duchy of Bar . The other part belonged to the Abbey of Saint Arnulf in Metz, which in turn belonged to the diocese of Metz .
In 1793, in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) , Chenois received the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. Before 1806, the two parts of Chenois, the communes of Chenois and Chenoy, were merged. From 1801 to 1871, Chenois belonged to the former Meurthe department , which was renamed the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in 1871 . In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. Chenois was in the Moselle department at the time, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France. As a French-speaking town, Chenois was one of the last 247 communities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Eichendorf" and was the official place name until 1918.

In the middle, a green oak is shown as a talking element , because Chêne is the French word for oak.
