Meaning & History
From Chiyo combined with the genitive particle の (no), written as 之, 乃 or the katakana equivalent ノ, and suke, originally denoting a kokushi (provincial governor) with the 2nd-highest level of suke (介), also written with other kanji like 助.One bearer of this name was actor and buyō dancer Chiyonosuke Azuma (東 千代之介), born Takayuki Wakawada (若和田 孝之) (1926-2000).This name is very rarely used.
