French name?

[Alina Makin]

Dear Annie,

There is a village and a castle named Choloy (Шолуа in Russian) in Lorraine (north-east France) -- see Russian wiki for details.  Since many last names are tied to geographic locations, it might be another transliteration option.  

My guess is that into Russian Chantelois would be transliterated as Шантелуa.

Hope that my message finds you well.  

Best,
Alina Makin
