The Kanjis for "Nintendo" are 任天堂 and when looked at individually, we get:

任 (nin) - duty/responsibility/obligation

天 (ten) - heaven

堂 (dou) - temple/shrine/hall

So, 任天堂 (nintendou) is like "Temple of Heavenly Duty".  However, if you've looked at the wikipedia article, you'll see that it supposedly means "Leave luck to Heaven". However, I am unable to validate or refute this claim due to the source page being removed and lack of reference material elsewhere.
