The term SPOOL was used simply because of it's function. Later
on, the acronym was added to it. Thus, SPOOL is a backronym - as
the acronym was added to merely fit the already-used term.

Which is a name written backward and used as pseudonym?

It's either an acronym or backronym depending on what you
mean.
Acronym is when you get "FBI" from "Federal Bureau of
Intelligence"
Backronym is when you get "Friendly Bee Incorporated" from
"FBI"
If you mean what it's called when you take an existing word and
give every letter a meaning, then I don't think there is a term for
that.
