Meaning and background
The story behind Chompy
Chompy uses the familiar English chomp with a playful final y, giving the name an informal, nickname-like finish. The underlying verb means to chew or bite noisily, and has a documented connection with champ. That is the supportable linguistic explanation. There is no basis for asserting that every animal with this name loves food or has particular habits.
- Origin
- Modern English playful formation from chomp Source
