Its a reference to cheltenham, nothing at all to do to council houses and violence like people keep saying, thats something people made up afterwards, obviously it fits pretty well but so does "fix or repair daily" but it wasnt henry's original reason for the name.
From Wikpedia:
Etymology
There are a large number of synonyms and regional variations of "chav", including "scally", "townie", "ned" "Mallie", "Pikey", and "charva".[3] It has been suggested that "charva" (or "charv") predates "chav" as a dialect word in North East England (where the term would be used in referring to an unruly young mine-worker) and Edinburgh, Scotland, and that "chav" may be a derivative term; they at least appear to share the same possible etymology in the Romani word "chavi" [4]. The Cockney term chavvy for a baby or toddler has been in use for decades and almost certainly derives from "chavi". In some regions, Chavs are referred to as "Burbs", given their association with Burberry clothing. The term "ned" is the widely accepted term commonly used throughout Scotland to describe a "chav" and is sometimes explained as an acronym of "non-educated delinquent". The use of the word "chav" can also be traced to the town of Chatham, Medway in Kent, where the word has been in use for several generations to describe a person on the dole. To be "on the dole" was to be "on the chav". It was a local joke that people from Chatham dressed a certain way and were frequently on the dole, which led to the term "Chatham Chav".
Many folk etymologies have sprung up to explain the origins of the word. These include backronyms such as "Council Housed And Violent" [5] and "Council House Associated Vermin". Another commonly cited false etymology derives from school slang that pupils at Cheltenham Ladies' College supposedly used to describe less desirable young men of the town - "Cheltenham Average" or Ch-av [6], though the article states that few, if any, were aware of this connection in either the school or the town.

Least with Neds it's easy to know where it came from.
That politician in the 70's who said britain would have to change and stop allowing immmigration of we'd become a country of Non Educated Dependants... IIRC he was slated for his remarks

What a crock of SHIT
We've used Chav round here in the scummy council estates of Cheltenham since as long as I can remember, and its nowhere NEAR as complex as the wanky rumours make out.
Its a Gyppo term (and has been since the dawn of time, or dawn of gyppos, whatever) for a CHILD. A gyppo child mostly.
Chav, or Chavvy.
When we was younger it was jus a greeting, like mate. Ie "Alright chav?" etc etc.
All this rumour and bollocks as its became the buzz word in last few years for nobheads whos never heard of it.
I remember 20odd yrs ago and it was used, mustve been around for 100s of years.
