    Probably because no one cared?

    AVR probably means nothing?, it was just a three letter name designed to compete with the MicroChip PIC (which also stands for nothing definite).

    The first video on the AVR television website shows the creators jokingly about to tell what AVR means before being cut off. It has no official meaning, the same as PIC.

    Yes Atmel simply choose a similar three letter name to try and compete with the PIC.

    AVR stands for Alf-Vegard-Research or Alf-Vegard-Risc microcontroller.

    I suspect that's probably just a myth, like many others.
