It doesn't stand for anything. Hence the number of variants they are called depending on the region. I have always called them Charvers, when I first heard the term Chav I didn't know what the person was referring to.
Since my best friend has moved to Scotland, and speaks about them a lot, I have come to think of them as Neds myself. I just think it's a funnier word, and makes me giggle in my head every time I think about it. Ned, hehehehe.
