Yahoo! was originally called 'Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web.'

In January 1994, Yang and Filo were electrical engineering graduate students at Stanford University when they created a website named "Jerry and David's guide to the World Wide Web". The site was a directory of other websites, organized in a hierarchy, as opposed to a searchable index of pages. In March 1994, "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" was renamed "Yahoo!" The "yahoo.com" domain was created on January 18, 1995.

The word "yahoo" is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle". The term "hierarchical" described how the Yahoo database was arranged in layers of subcategories. The term "oracle" was intended to mean "source of truth and wisdom", and the term "officious", rather than being related to the word's normal meaning, described the many office workers who would use the Yahoo database while surfing from work. However, Filo and Yang insist they mainly selected the name because they liked the slang definition of a "yahoo" (used by college students in David Filo's native Louisiana in the late 1980s and early 1990s to refer to an unsophisticated, rural Southerner): "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Filo's college girlfriend often referred to Filo as a "yahoo." This meaning derives from the Yahoo race of fictional beings from Gulliver's Travels.

^^ This I found from wikipedia and it comes from:

"Wiki" means quick in Hawaiian. The Wiki Wiki Bus is Honolulu International Airport's shuttle, and has shuttled people between the Main Terminal and the Domestic/International Terminals since the mid-1960s.

The "pedia" part is from the word encyclopedia.
Wikipedia, then, means ----> quick encyclopedia

Some people believe wiki stands for "What I Know Is" but that is a false acronym.
