edit: my town, Chevy Chase, is actually taken from 'The Chevy Chase Land Company', a corporation that owned the land where the town is today (circa 1890)... well before the actor ever changed his name to it.
I'm pretty sure Chevy Chase is named after 'The ballad of Chevy Chase', an old Northumbrian ballad possibly about the battle of Otterburn, written most likely in the 15th century.
edit: talking about the actor here. Not sure about the town or the land corporation.
Actually, according to wikipedia the Chevy Chase in Maryland is indeed named after the ballad.
