The word Chief is of French origin.

There were a lot of French explorers in that area once.

The word has a long English use. "The chief of my worries is,......" is another use.

Then there are the chefs. In kitchens.

Nah.

Etymology shows the word "chief" goes back as early as 1300 in France.

As you point out - in modern French, the word is "chef". Boycott all restaurants.
