In this story, they refer to Eliseo Quintanilla as Cheyo. Is this a nickname for Eliseo? Or something else? Anyone?

[McOwen]

Yeah i think thats right. My Barra brother Chico can confirm that for certain, but "Cheyo" is Q2's nickname... Well aside from Q2. :D

--two years of college spanish has certain limitations...

[Begbie]

Yeah, Cheyo (sp?) is his nickname.

[TCompton]

...as is El Chipmunk :D

[Jose L. Couso]

Yes, Cheyo is his nickname.

I think there is some confusion as to the question, because I think Albion Road knew that Cheyo was Eliseo's nickname (based on the article).

I think he was asking if Cheyo has a particular meaning or if it is just a kind of shortened-up version of Eliseo. Anyone know?

Washington Hispanic says its Chello.. pronounced Cheyo, but spelled chello.

i picked up a copy from the 15th and it had an article about him.

Thanks Atouk. Maybe I should rephrase my question.

I read that Eliseo Quintanilla is nicknamed Cheyo.

Why is he nicknamed Cheyo?

Cheyo is a short name for Eliseo (as in calling: Robert/Bob, Richard/Dick Kenneth/Ken etc.)
