Default Is Stingray one word?

Some of us car guys were locked into a discussion today on whether Stingray is one word or not. I think it is one word but my buddy says there was a time it was two words.
I don't want to Google it I want to hear from the experts here.

seems to me the c2's were Sting Rays, then they dropped it for the first year or two on the c3's, then started again as Stingrays and kept it until 75 or 76 (77? maybe, whenever they dropped the fender scripts)
Hows that for vague?
