quote from wikipedia:
The AVRs are a family of RISC microcontrollers from Atmel. Their internal architecture was conceived by two students: Alf-Egil Bogen and Vergard Wollan, at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH)[1] and further developed at Atmel Norway, a subsiduary founded by the two architects.

The acronym AVR has been reported to stand for Advanced Virtual RISC. It's also been rumoured to stand for the company's founders: Alf and Vegard, who are evasive when questioned about it.
