Chevy is in Origin.

Chevy is a modern English given name, used mostly for boys, whose roots lie in the phrase and place-name “Chevy Chase.” The term refers to a famed border hunt in the Cheviot Hills celebrated in early ballads; by association, the name carries the sense of “chase,” “hunt,” or vigorous pursuit. Some scholars also note influence from Anglo-French chevauchée, meaning “mounted raid,” which reinforces imagery of horseback pursuit and martial daring.

As a given name, Chevy saw little use before the late 20th century, then gained visibility through the American comedian Chevy Chase (born Cornelius), as well as the colloquial nickname for the Chevrolet automobile. It remains uncommon yet familiar in the United States, and occasionally appears as a unisex choice. Variants and spellings include Chevie, Chevi, and Chevee, with Chev as a nickname. Related names and echoes include Chase and the place-name Chevy Chase.
