Apparently this is a 'backronym', or in other words, an acronym that has been devised afterwards for a word already in use. Another invented acronym for Chav is 'Council House Adolescent Vermin'.
It's generally acknowledged that the term Chav is actually derived from the Romani word 'chavi', meaning child.
