French name?

[Moshe Taube]

Google gives 239 results for Chautelois, which is not much, mostly for names from the New World (Quebec, etc.). If one's willing to allow further flexibility with the transliteration, there is Chantelois, which is a very popular name.

M.T.

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.
