It's supposed to actually mean something in French. What that is, I'm not sure.

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" |

Like many others have said, I have heard it means "friend" or "camarade" which I think is perfect. I feel no one (at least that I know at my age) really has a bond with their cars anymore. Its just a car that takes you from point A to point B and nothing more. You will always have a bond with your first car, be it a Camaro or a Honda Civic, and thats why I think of my Camaro as so much more than "just a car."
