What does Chip mean?
/t͡ʃɪp/1 syllable

Chip is the English word for a small piece broken or cut from something larger, whether wood, stone, or paint. As a nickname, it's often used affectionately for someone, or something, small — especially the smallest or scrappiest of a litter.

Chip has a light, cheerful bite to it — a great fit for a small or young pet with a spark of mischief.
