About the name Chevy
Chevy is an informal name with two sources. It is the familiar short form of Chevrolet, the car brand named after the Swiss-born racing driver Louis Chevrolet, whose surname is French. It also recalls Chevy Chase, the title of an old English and Scottish ballad about a hunt in the Cheviot Hills on the border, a name later given to a town in Maryland. The comedian Chevy Chase, born Cornelius Crane Chase, received his nickname from his grandmother, who took it from the ballad.
