Best Answer

It's either an acronym or backronym depending on what you mean.

Acronym is when you get "FBI" from "Federal Bureau of Intelligence"

Backronym is when you get "Friendly Bee Incorporated" from "FBI"

If you mean what it's called when you take an existing word and give every letter a meaning, then I don't think there is a term for that.
