Meaning and background
The story behind Chapo
Chapo is a Mexican Spanish colloquial noun for a short person, and it is well known as a nickname in modern public life. This does not make any particular famous bearer the origin of the word. In a naming catalogue, the two short syllables can be described without assuming a connection to a person or a dog's appearance. The regional meaning is sourced; the individual pet-name motivation is not.
