Chava comes from "chaval"=boy. But there is a cyclist called José
María Jiménez whose nickname is "Chaba", with a 'b'.

"Aférisis" of the word "Chaval-la"
which means a Joven, Muchacho.
La palabra original es Chaval o Chavala, que significa un Joven o Muchacho.
Se usa el "Aférisis" de Chavo o Chava mas comunmente. Esta es la
definición que proporciona el diccionario.

Assuming you are watching Univisión. 'chava' is feminine of 'chavo'.
'chavo' would refer to a 'muchacho' or young man or boy (depends on
context really). 'chava' would be a young woman or girl (again
context)... an appropriate (although politically incorrect) translation
would probably be 'chick' (again depends a lot on context).

I asked my Mexican students about that word a few weeks (I've gotten hooked on
Las Soñadoras), and they all said that it wasn't so much "muchacho" as "tipo".

mote (muchas familias lo tienen por esta zona). Por otra parte en esta parte
del planeta, a veces, "chaval" se pronuncia con acento en la primera "a" y
se suprime la "l". Conclusión: no fatigueis la cabeza intentando averiguar
lo que realmente significa "chaba" porque no creo que ni el mismo Jose María
Jiménez lo sepa del todo.

Siempre que oigo la palabra "chava", pienso en el tío muy querido de
mi esposa. Él tenía el nombre "Salvador", pero su apodo era "Chava".

No la encuentro esa palabra "aférisis" en mi diccionario
español/inglés. ¿Qué la quiere decir?

La palabra es "Aféresis" la escribí mal la primer vez, pues tiene una "e"
después de la "r".
Se encuentra en el diccionario, y se usa para describir palabras que se les
omite una sílaba o letras al principio, tal vez no la apliqué bien en
Chavo, ya que en este vocablo, se le omiten letras al final.

Your spelling wasn't the problem in my case. None of the 3
Spanish/English dictionaries I consulted had "aférisis" at all; all
three jumped from "afeminado" to "aferrado" (reminds me of a guy I used
to work with, actually). So, it would appear that it's time for me to
buy a proper Spanish dictionary.
We've already discussed the RAE, but it seems a little pricey and two
volumes would be too unwieldy. They certainly must publish single
volume Spanish dictionaries like the English language "college"
dictionaries that are so common here in the U.S. mustn't they?
Can any of you recommend such a dictionary, especially one that includes
lots of Latin American colloquialisms?

Chopping off the end of a word is known as apócope.

Alféresis-

Uso, además del DRAE, el Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado; lo encontré en
EE.UU. (en San Pancho, allá donde vivía ...) hace unos años por $24.95
dólares gringos. No sé si tenga muchos coloquialismos, pero sí tiene
"poto".
