No, it's not the Japanese abbreviation for SUV...

According to literature from Honda UK, CR-V stands for "Compact Recreational Vehicle; the Honda Japan CR-V Factbook and Honda Worldwide states that CR-V stands for "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle." US dealers say it stands for "Civilian Recreational Vehicle".

It could also stand for Crossover Recreation Vehicle.
compact recreational vehicle

i heard it also means crew return vehicle because apparently the crv was originally made for astronauts to return from the space shuttle airstrip back to base.
Comfort Recreational Vehicle

Added: Actually, Honda has never stated (in advertising, or anywhere else) that the designation CR-V mean anything at all.
