The AWK language: named after its authors Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan.
Probably common knowledge by now, but GNU: recursive acronym fo GNU's Not Unix
Also the GNU Hurd (https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/what_is_the_gnu_hurd/origin_of_t…):
"Hurd stands for Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons. And, then, Hird stands for Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth. We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms."
Yeah, I remeber chuckling to "Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'Can't configure Debian.'" :)
