In my best knowledge, the name "начдив" (НАЧальник ДИВизии - chief of division) instead of previous "командир дивизии" (commander of division) started to be implemented even between the february and october revolution of 1917 as a reflection of the process of democratization in armed forces, and of the tendency to use the reduced forms of the words of official nominations. Then, it was used in the Red Army from 1918. After the Civil War it was started to be implemented the old name "командир дивизии", but also in the reduced form - "комдив".
