"Che" is a form of colloquial slang native to Argentina used in a vocative sense as "friend", and thus loosely corresponds to expressions such as "mate", "pal", "man", "bro", or "dude"; as used by various English speakers. The term became a staple when Ernesto "Che" Guevara (an Argentinian) rose to prominence during and after the Cuban Revolution, as the Cuban guerrillas bestowed the term upon him as a nickname to mark his heritage and to recognize him as a friend of both the revolution and the people.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara was given the nickname "Che" while he was in Cuba. "Che" is an Argentine term that is often used as a casual way to address someone, similar to "pal" or "buddy" in English. Guevara's Cuban comrades began calling him "Che" due to his Argentinian accent and frequent use of the word. The nickname eventually stuck and became widely associated with him.
