Chip is a preppy nickname that is not short for any particular name, but rather to indicate that one is named after another aka "chip off the old block." One finds that men named Chip usually have a roman numeral after their real names.

I don't think it's short for any particular name, It's more like "chip off the old block" maybe when a boy is named after his dad and they don't want to call him Jr.

person's nickname may have no traceable origin. For example, a person named "Brett" may be nicknamed "Scott" for no apparent reason, or a man who was named after a relative may ask his friends to call him "Chip" (as in "chip off the old block") to avoid confusion.
It may combine a person's name with a traditional association. For example, soldiers in the British army with the surname Smith are often nicknamed "Smudge" or "Smudger" in reference to the soot smudges that blacksmiths often sported as a result of their trade. Similarly, Royal Marines with the surname Miller often find themselves nicknamed "Dusty" or some such variant for similar reasons.

Chip may mean "Microprocessor".
A small piece of semiconducting material (usually silicon) on which an integrated circuit is embedded. A typical chip is less than ¼-square inches and can contain millions of electronic components (transistors). Computers consist of many chips placed on electronic boards called printed circuit boards.
There are different types of chips. For example, CPU chips (also called microprocessors) contain an entire processing unit, whereas memory chips contain blank memory.
Please see the web page for more details on Microprocessor.

Charles or Christopher. Christopher actually makes more sense because all the letters are there. Nicknames tend to be shortened versions, it gets confusing mostly due to the same name in diferant languishes. Chris=kit as Christopher=Kristoffer
