What does camaro mean?

Answer 1

If you are asking in regards to the vehicle this answer will probably do...

As the launch date neared, the car still had no name. It had been called various names by GM, including Nova, Panther, Chaparral, and Wildcat. Chevy also considered using the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which evolved into GeMini, and finally Gemini. General Motors Headquarters killed that name, because they didn't want the letters "GM" used in case the car was a failure.

Finally, the car was introduced to the press as the Camaro, considered to be a good name because nobody knew what it meant. Chevrolet produced an old French dictionary showing that the word meant "friend" or "companion", but Ford found an alternate meaning in an old Spanish dictionary-"a small, shrimp-like creature."The automotive press had a good laugh over that, and an even bigger one when one journalist found yet another meaning-"loose bowels." It didn't take long for the laughter to stop after the introduction of the stunning 1967 Camaro!

The true definition is "a small vicious animal that eats mustangs"

I am not that guy, and I say : At the time, Chevys got names that start with C. Chevrolet made up a list of every C word they could find. Then went down the list until one they liked popped up. So, Camaro doesn't actually mean anything, it just sounds good.
