Etymology

The word Chevrolet is the famous American car brand named after Louis Chevrolet, the company's co-founder. The name comes from the family surname, with the old French root chevre meaning 'goat' or 'little goat', so when you see Chevrolet today you can remember it is the family name used for the car company.
