Hmm, as usual, the explanations from that site are half-correct at best. Here is the spec text about `ch`: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-3/#ch As far as I can remember, the `ch` doesn’t really stand for anything, and I don’t think there is an equivalent in the typographic history. IOW it is an arbitrary name.
