In English, when a group of letters stand for a whole word, it is called an acronym. For example, FBI stands for Federal Bureau of Investigation, NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Acronyms are frequently used in messaging: MUM, LOL, SUS, and so on.

So if you use terms to describe yourself, abbreviated to your name or initials, that is an acronym. For example: Sam: Sweet And Mellow; Smart at maths.
