Uncertain.[1] Widely believed to be from Caló chachipén / chachipé (truth), a language spoken by the Spanish Romani.[1]

Another theory[1] (which is presumably an urban legend) is that the term is derived from the surname of British prime minister Winston Churchill due to the quality of products coming from British-governed Gibraltar.
