Using initials is typically referred to as "initialism." Initialisms are formed by taking the first letters of a series of words and pronouncing them individually, such as "FBI" for Federal Bureau of Investigation. If the initials form a pronounceable word, it's called an "acronym," like "NASA" for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
