Annotations
editEtymology: from Nicholas Chauvin, soldier, possibly legendary, of Napoleon's Grand Armee, notoriously attached to the Empire long after it was history. Popularized in France 1831 through Cogniard's vaudeville "La Cocarde Tricolore".
Meaning extended to "sexism" via male chauvinism (1970).
The name is a F form of L Calvinus and thus Calvinism and chauvinism are, etymologically, twins.
