The i stands for Internet and the Mac stand for Macintosh. The Macintosh refers to the Macintosh Apple. Thus the name Apple Macintosh. The founder Steve Jobs worked in an apple orchard as a kid and came up with the name.
I assume you're referring to the Apple logo. If so, Steve Jobs worked in a apple orchard as a kid. This is where he came up with the name Macintosh referring to the Macintosh Apple. He therefore used the Apple logo for his computers. The I in iMac stands for Internet and the Mac Stands for Macintosh.
The Macintosh project began in 1979 with Jef Raskin, an Apple employee who envisioned an easy-to-use, low-cost computer for the average consumer. He wanted to name the computer after his favorite type of apple, the Mcintosh. That is where the name Apple Macintosh came from which is spelled slightly differently. The i in iMac stands for Internet. Ken Segall was an employee at an L.A. ad agency handling Apple's account who came up with the name "iMac" and pitched it to Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs wanted to call it MacMan but eventually accepted Ken's suggestion.
I think it came from the name of an actual apple type/brand but to avoid confusion apple named it the Macintosh It came from a Apple Tree, only they spelled it a bit different. That answer is good, but neglects the much more long lived Macintosh coat, which was invented by a Scottish chemist, who perfected the design of a waterproof fabric by welding two componets of the coat together.
In field service parlance, it means Install, Modify, Add, Collect. If you're referring to the apple computers, the "mac" is short for Macintosh, the company name. The "I" is short for Internet.
Alex MacIntosh's birth name is Alexander P. Macintosh.
Katie MacIntosh's birth name is Katherine Elise MacIntosh.

The i originally was for Internet. That explanation was actually an afterthought. According the the 2011 biography of Steve Jobs, the "i" prefix was first used in Jobs's job title when he returned to Apple. The CEO had been ousted but Jobs was reluctant to take on the title because he was also involved in Pixar. Thus he took on the title of "interim CEO", iCEO for short.
