TFTP stands for Trivial File Transfer Protocol, a really simple implementation of FTP.
You can get the workings of TFTP in this RFC... http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1350

TFTP - (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP protocol that has no directory or password capability.
Since it is so simple, it is easy to implement in a very small amount of memory, an important consideration at that time. TFTP was therefore useful for booting computers such as routers which did not have any mass storage devices. It is still used to transfer small files between hosts on a network, such as when a remote X Window System terminal or any other thin client boots from a network host or server.

It's a protocol (that's used in a TFTP program) that's mainly used to transfer router configuration files from the router to the PC, or vice versa.

trivial file transfer protocol.
trivial means small as it is used for transferring small files.
