Etymology

The word jeep may come from the small, magical character 'Eugene the Jeep' in the Popeye cartoons, because that creature could go anywhere and soldiers began calling a new army car by the same name. A helpful way to remember it is that the letters GP (short for 'general purpose') sound like 'jeep'. So a jeep is a small, strong vehicle made to go over rough ground.
