You might be thinking of Jeep, although the actual source of this moniker is in dispute. Generally accepted is the explanation that the term "Jeep" was derived from the Ford GP, while others claim it was designated 'GP' by the US Military for "General Purpose". Still others claim it was named after Eugene the Jeep from the Popeye Cartoons.
