Jeep Logo — Jeep is a brand of off-road cars created by the company Willys-Overland in 1941, and today is a division of Chrysler LLC. There are several versions about the origin of the name “Jeep”. The most accepted cartoon comes from the 1930’s, Popeye the Sailor, which featured a character called Eugene the Jeep, a yellow pet like a dog with supernatural powers and the soldiers Americans attributed these powers to the Jeep. During the Second World War, this version is accompanied by a less imaginative, which attributes the name to the initials GP, General Purpose, under which the army of the United States organized the competition to provide themselves with a small vehicle utility of four wheels.

The reason why these versions become confused and eventually debate is the way it is written: It is said that the name Jeep is reduced pronunciation of the acronym GP, ie Pi Yi. However, as the character of Popeye the Sailor used the Jeep name as you type the name of the brand, and also this nice character communicated only through the repetition of “Jeep Jeep” finally is often credited with the origin of name.
