I would say more ‘modern’ patterns “ripples” have softer waves and “chevrons” are the sharp points. And the back loop only if done straight is called “ribbing”.

I have made soft wave ripples, but not chevrons and not ribbed. Love ripples though.

I have actually completed the #4 Chevron Blanket. I did it in muted candy corn colors as a Halloween blanket – I love it.

Think they were called “rippled” because of the “back loop only” stitching involved…it made it look like the rows were rippling. So chevron, zig zag or ripple…whatever you want to call them…they’re great to make.

I even found one that was done in simple Tunisian stitch! Love the way it turned out!

back in the day, we made ‘ripple’ patterns, afghans and other stuff. all varieties of the ‘chevron’ patterns. same thing, ripples and chevrons, i think.
