What does Chewie mean?
/ˈt͡ʃuː.i/

Chewie is best known as the nickname of Chewbacca, the loyal, towering Wookiee co-pilot from the Star Wars films — a character whose growling, affectionate presence made 'Chewie' instantly recognizable well beyond the movies. On its own, 'chewie' is also informal slang for a piece of chewing gum, drawn from the adjective 'chewy,' meaning requiring a lot of chewing.

It's a playful, easy-to-love name for a pet who's a devoted sidekick and probably has a habit of chewing on everything in sight. Chewie suits a big-hearted, slightly scruffy companion who'd never leave your side.
