Well, its "original creation" is open for discussion. Every source I've read
says there is no one definitive explanation as to how "Jeep" came to be. Yes,
there was a cartoon character, but there is no evidence that's how "Jeep" can
to be the name of a vehicle. Similarly, "GP" for "General Purpose" cannot be
proven as the precursor either.
Regardless, "Jeep" is now a registered trademark like "Coke" and "Xerox."
