覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Cheはアルゼンチンなどで「おい、ねえ、友よ」と相手に呼びかける語で、これを頻繁に使ったエルネスト・ゲバラの通称になりました。Che Guevara、the biography of Cheの形を、呼びかけ語が人物名へ移った例として覚えます。固有名詞としては通常、大文字のCheです。
Start with the Argentine Spanish expression che, used informally to get someone’s attention or address a companion, somewhat like “hey” or “mate.” Ernesto Guevara used this regional expression so often that fellow revolutionaries called him Che. The address word therefore became a personal nickname. Connect Che Guevara, an image associated worldwide with revolution, and phrases such as a biography of Che. Capitalize Che when it refers to Guevara. This historical link between his Argentine speech habit and his nickname is the safest memory anchor; the word is not an abbreviation of his name.

che の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スペイン語圏の呼びかけ語で、アルゼンチンやウルグアイで「友よ、おい」を意味する che に由来。革命家エルネスト・ゲバラがアルゼンチン出身でこの口癖を多用したため「チェ・ゲバラ」の通称となった。関連語: Guevara。親しみを込めた呼びかけが固有名詞化した珍しい例。
Che was originally an informal Spanish interjection and form of address, particularly characteristic of Argentina and Uruguay. Its deeper origin is uncertain, so no single remote derivation can be stated confidently. Ernesto Guevara, who was born in Argentina, frequently used che while speaking. His Cuban companions consequently applied the word to him as a nickname, producing the internationally familiar name Che Guevara. An everyday regional address term thus became a proper name associated with a historical figure.
