Our story of Chevonne
Louis Chevrolet, a Swiss mechanic and racing driver, co-founded the Chevrolet Motor Company in 1911 and sold his stake a few years later, leaving the company his name and himself almost nothing of its fortune. Centuries earlier the ballad of Chevy Chase told of a hunt across the Cheviot Hills that became a bloody border battle, and Sir Philip Sidney wrote that he never heard it without his heart being moved more than by a trumpet. Chevonne shares that sound, and softens it with an ending out of Irish.

Fashion outlook
Chevonne sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
