How did the name Chevrolet become Chevy?

chevrolet
Tranquil asked:


My friend and I were just talking and I asked him (my friend is a car buff) how Chevrolet came to be Chevy and he didn’t know. It doesn’t make much sense because Chevrolet doesn’t even a have a “Y” in it. So hopefully one of you might be able to help me in this conundrum.
