I know that this is not exactly the right place to ask, but it's the only place I know where it is at least sort-of-a-good-place to ask.

I have already googled and searched here, but I got multiple conflicting answers. One of them said "WINdows Emulator", another said "WINE Is Not an Emulator" (which is kind of strange seeing its nature and general description), and I thought of it meaning "Windows Internal Native Emulator".

So what is the REAL answer?

From wikipedia:

The name Wine initially was an acronym for Windows emulator. Its meaning later shifted to the recursive backronym, Wine is not an emulator in order to differentiate the software from CPU emulators

From WineHQ

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator")
