ALVIN (DSV-2), contrary to popular belief, was not named for the chipmunk of the same name. It was so named in honor of the creative inspiration and mover behind the project, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute oceanographer Dr. Allyn C. Vine. The name is a hybrid of the first 2 initials of his first name, and the first 3 initials of his last name.
