Cheska

Cheska is a given name, primarily used as a feminine name. It is often considered a diminutive of Francesca, which itself is the feminine form of Francis. Francesca is of Italian origin, ultimately deriving from the Latin Franciscus, meaning "Frenchman" or "free man." Therefore, Cheska carries the same etymological root, linking it back to notions of freedom and French origin. The name Cheska is more commonly found in some European countries, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Philippines, where it may also be spelled as Ceska. It's considered a more informal or familiar version of Francesca.
