History & Origin

Chevi is a contemporary coinage, a softened spelling of Chevy that turns a punchy, informal sound into a girls' name. Names drawn from brand and surname sounds like this appealed for their easygoing, distinctly American feel.

It appears in United States records in scattered use across the late twentieth century, reaching its small peak in the middle two-thousand-tens before easing, always very rare. A girl named Chevi from that peak is still a young child today, a name of the recent coinage moment.

Did you know? The Chevy behind Chevi is most familiar from the Chevrolet marque, whose founder's surname was Chevrolet, so the name carries a faint all-American, open-road flavor.
