Just because it was originally used to describe young mine workers, doesn't mean it hasn't changed since then. Meanings of words change over time.

Firstly the word "Suggested" is not 100% fact, it means its a rumour, and we all know rumours are usually lies...
And the part you missed out...
Cockney being southern. Chavi is derived from Romani.The Cockney term chavvy for a baby or toddler has been in use for decades and almost certainly derives from "chavi".
Also a couple of opther things...
A writer in the Independent thought it derived from the name of the town of Chatham in Kent, where the term is best known and probably originated.
And we must agree google has all the answers to everything, so click...The word chav has become common in southern England, and is generally thought to come from Chatham girls (Chatham is a town in Kent.)

That's why my brother's computer doesn't need anti-virus software; 450MHz P3 doesn't meet virus's system requirements.

Accept it and walk away?
Deny it and walk away?
Agree to it and call him a dirty Jew?
Or did you come to the CJ forums and talk a load of bullshit as usual.
Sticking with the nature of the topic...

teebag, you're an immature fucktard hiding behind the almightiness known as your computer monitor. Please withdraw a large ramming utensil from the nearby sexual intercourse emporium and deliver deep within your anus, as that is the method in which homosexual rectum lickers such as yourself flourish.
