Because it’s now based on « Chez Scheme » (https://scheme.com).

I don't see the name explained in that document. It does mention 'C-Scheme' and 'Z80 Scheme' so maybe Chez is a sort of interpolation of those?

In French chez means "at the home of (used in imitation of French, often humorously)." This always rings this bell in my mind when I hear this word.

An example: Je suis allé chez Steele et Sussman roughly translates to: I went to the Steele's and the Sussman's homes

Is your comment a recursion or bootstrapping joke?
