>Louis Chevrolet was born in Switzerland but lived in France at one time. The name Chevrolet in French is the counterpart of the English name "Kidd" - it derives from animal images used on signs posted outside provisional inns. It is an old diminutive pronunciation of the word for goat i.e. "little goat". Corvette designers put the fleur-de-lis in the car's emblem after researching Louis Chevrolet's family name and deciding to honor the French origins of their company founder's name.
