Dude, he was asking if WE knew what it stood for.
It stands for "wireless fidelity", and, to tell you the truth, I didn't know the reason why they would call it that until a few weeks ago, when I decided to look up the word. Fidelity means to "to adhere to promises", and WiFi promises to be compatible with almost any wireless card, so I guess it is a good name.

It doesn't stand for anything. It may have originally meant "Wireless Fidelity", but the brand name WiFi no longer claims it means this,

It is not an acronym. There is no meaning.
