From Chris Lattner (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2011-December/04644...):

> "LLVM" is officially no longer an acronym. The acronym it once expanded too was confusing, and inappropriate almost from day 1. :) As LLVM has grown to encompass other subprojects, it became even less useful and meaningless.

> In short, it is just "The LLVM Project", and LLVM doesn't stand for anything anymore. It is a nice short domain name though




It wasn't ever an acronym. It was an initialism.
