Châtenay-Malabry was originally known as simply Châtenay. The name Châtenay is derived from Latin castanetum, meaning "chestnut grove." The addition of Malabry comes from a domain and hamlet located in the commune, originally Mallabri, then Mallabry, and finally Malabry. The name Malabry is derived from Medieval Latin Mallabriacus, meaning "estate of Mallabrius."
