So Wi-Fi is not an acronym, even though your most educated guess would've landed on Wireless Fidelity. So you ask, how did the name Wi-Fi come to be? Wi-Fi is simply a marketing term coined by a marketing agency, Interbrand, to help Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (now called Wi-Fi Alliance) for marketing purposes.

It was also meant to help the organization push for interoperability. Interbrand settled on Wi-Fi which was more catchy and easier to remember than "IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence". However, the term Wireless Fidelity has its story as well.

The reason why many people refer to Wi-Fi as an acronym for Wireless Fidelity has to do with what the organization did in the early days. According to Belanger, the alliance decided to include the tagline "The Standard for Wireless Fidelity" in early marketing materials for no other reason than to provide "some sort of literal explanation," according to Belanger. But Belanger said that tagline was a mistake.
