     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:
     ακρο?, 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.
