Most people in this industry call random 3-letter names e.g. tpv.com acronyms, me included. This is incorrect; we should be calling them abbreviations.
An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps.
An abbreviation a shortened form of a word or phrase used chiefly in writing to represent the complete form, such as Mass. for Massachusetts or USMC for United States Marine Corps.
95% of the "acronyms" offered for sale are in fact abbreviations.
