French name?

[Moshe Taube]

It can't be Chatlois, for then the "t" would not be pronounced. It's got to be Chautelois (there is such a name).

I googled that and didn't find any person with a similar name to whom Platonov may have been referring... so any leads on possible referents would also be gladly received.
