I just Ed and pasted this from wiki.

"EtymologyChav probably has its origins in the Romani word "chavi", meaning "child"[3] (or "chavo", meaning "boy",[4] or "chavvy", meaning "youth"[5]).[6] This word may have entered the English language through the Geordie dialect word charva, meaning a rough child.[7] This is similar to the colloquial Spanish word chaval, meaning "kid" or "guy".[4][8]

The derivative Chavette has been used to refer to females.[citation needed]

The Oxford University Press has said that the word is "generally thought to come from Chatham girls",[4] and Michael Quinion says that that is "where the term is best known and probably originated".[6]

Many urban legends have sprung up around the etymology of the word. These include the backronym "Council Housed And Violent" or "Council House Associated Vermin",[1] and the suggestion that pupils at Cheltenham Ladies' College and Cheltenham College used the word to describe the young men of the town ("Cheltenham Average").[9] However, Michael Quinion has said that "we must treat supposed acronymic origins with the greatest suspicion; these examples are definitely recent after-the-event inventions as attempts to explain the word, though very widely known and believed."[6]

By 2005, media references to 'chavs' had spread the word throughout Britain."

from what i know was originally jargon used by the police in the 70's/80's to describe suspects amongst collegues, naturally it caught on. and yes it does stand for council housed and violent. or thats the way my dad tells the story haha

It comes from Tom Clancy's character Ding Chavez, He was cool so youngsters started referring to them selves as Dings, but it got changed to Chavs
