In 1994, Stanford Ph.D candidates Jerry Yang and David Filo began indexing interesting Web sites as a hobby. "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" turned into Yahoo!, meaning "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle!" A very successful IPO followed in 1996, and within a few years, Yahoo! became a major global brand with offices around the world.

Do you mean the acronym?
Yahoo - Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.
The name they used in the 90's when they developed their searchable index. But it being "just" Yahoo - as in straight out of Gulliver's Travels is just as correct. They say they came up with Yahoo as the name first, then somebody came up with the words later.
If not that do you mean Yahoo! Inc.
