To complicate things further, there was also a class of small aircraft carrier in WW 2 called a "Jeep"

And the term is still used for a dolly used to support a heavy trailer.

I wasn't there, but I've also herd it alleged that in WW 2, the word was army slang for any small, insignificant piece of equipment, or a new recruit.
