From the book, History of the Camaro:
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!

This is by no meens the correct meaning but in the early 70's I asked the same question to some "gear heads" and was told that, "The Camaro stands for, big cams and fast and straight as an arrow, thus the name, CAMARO!"

I thought I'd read in a Camaro history book that the first Camaro, in the 40's or 50's, was actually a pickup truck.
