Despite the popular joke, it does not stand for "Wireless Fireless". It is analogous to an audio technology's High Fidelity shortend to Hi Fi, so it comes from Wireless Fidelity - Wi Fi.

Do WLAN and Wi-FI mean the same thing?
Yes, they are different although most people regard them as being one and the same. They are not. WLAN is an acronym for Wireless Local Area Network while Wi-Fi is described by the Wi-Fi Alliance as being any WLAN that is based upon IEEE 802.11 standards. To be Wi-Fi certified, the WLAN must successfully complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing. So, while any LAN that is Wi-Fi certified is regarded as a WLAN, not all WLAN are Wi-Fi certified.
