I'm not British, although I know what the term means. I think it's kind of a mean term.
Some Brits seem to associate names with the -ev sound, like
Kevin and
Trevor, with "chavs", to the point that the nickname
Kev is used as a synonym.
Other names I've heard British people say are "chavvy" include a lot of stereotypically American names such as
Taylor and
Tyler.
