The name Chewie is a boy's name of English origin meaning "honored friend".

Popular for pets, especially of the shaggy, furry nature, Chewie is a <em>Star Wars</em> inspired choice, used in the movie franchise as a nickname for the tall Wookie companion of Han Solo. The full form Chewbacca means "honored friend" in the fictional Wookie language, though Chewie might be less of a mouthful for a pet.

Alternatively, Chewie might be considered a wordy pet name, inspired by chew toys and the enjoyment some animals get from chewing on things.
