Meaning & Story

A clipping of Chevrolet, the American automobile brand founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet — the name carries strong associations with American muscle, speed, and the open road.

Chevy is an American original. As a shortened form of Chevrolet, it carries the spirit of the open road, the V8 engine, and a certain flag-waving pride in American-made things. On a male dog, Chevy suits a powerful, fast, or notably energetic animal — the kind who covers ground with an efficiency that makes you think he was built for speed. It has a rugged masculinity that resonates particularly well with working and sporting breeds.
