1st_ Diminutive of pig . 2nd_ By a classic design, you are also called 'chanchito' to the piggy bank. This seems to come from the spherical shells, so popular in the 15th century, that in England they were made from a reddish clay called pygg. Because of their resemblance to the word piggy ( "chanchito") , potters began to give them pig shape, as a joke.
