History
In the English language, the widespread use of acronyms,
initialisms, and contractions is a relatively new linguistic
phenomenon, having become most popular in the 20th and
21st centuries. As literacy rates rose, and as sciences and
technologies advanced, bringing with them more complicated
terms and concepts, the practice of abbreviating terms
became increasingly convenient.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) records the first
printed use of the word initialism as occurring in 1899;
acronym, in 1943. The word acronym comes from Greek:
ακρος, akros, "topmost, extreme" + ονομα,
onoma, "name".
Ι Iesous Jesus
Χ CHristos Christ
Θ THeou Son
Υ (h)Uios of
Σ Soter God
ΙΧΘΥΣ (Ichthys)
Definition
An acronym is a kind of abbreviation. The word comes from
Greek, meaning heads of names. Acronyms are usually
made from the capitalized initials of the words it represents,
for example FBI is an acronym for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
