How do you make a meaningful acronym?

Louise Aronson has some good tips, e.g.:

1. The best acronyms spell out a word that is related to their cause, function or meaning, or one that elicits positive feelings or associations. Here are some examples:

LEAD: for a leadership program, i.e. Leadership Education and Development

LEAP: for an educational training module, Learning from your Experiences As a Professional

SAGE: for a program in which students at UT Southwestern learn about aging, i.e. Southwestern Aging Geriatrics Education program

MIDAS: Mining Data at Stanford

DART: Dublin Area Rapid Transit

SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder

Two methods for Acronym Generation using Mindmaps

Method 1: How to Make an Acronym by Reverse Engineering

A helpful tip is to use Mind Maps. Don't be afraid to 'reverse engineer' your own clever acronym. Do you think meaningful acronyms just pop into peoples heads? They don't in my experience. Acronyms are extremely contrived things, and sometimes they read like they are forced or trying too hard. I think they should have a sweetness and naturalness about them. That they happen to spell a relevant word is merely a happy coincidence.

Take a piece of paper and a pen. Draw a circle in the middle with your ideal chosen acronym name. Around it, write the component letters. Branching out from each letter, pick any words that come to mind that might suit. It's important to not be too critical or judgemental at this stage: it's a process, an experiment that may take you to a good idea.

If this method doesn't suit you, try the method below instead. Also it may help to put some keywords in the acronym generator to see what comes out. For more ideas and synonyms, etc., bring out the thesaurus.

Method 2: How to Make an Acronym Using Synonyms

Take a piece of paper and a pen. Draw a circle in the middle. Around it, write your keywords / ideas / anything relevant. Then draw some synonyms / related words around those (use a thesaurus ). Tip: meditate for 20 seconds on the essence of each keyword. Try to abstract the meaning away from the word itself. With the ideas floating around in your head now, look at the first letters and try to feel out a word. Keep trying until you get something, anything at all (it's magic!). If you're lucky, the word you create will be related, if not, just keep trying (it's brute force computer programming, using your brain as the computer, haha.) Don't forget: a couple of vowels will go a long way. Good luck! :)

There are plenty of online tools to help you create Mind Maps.

It may not be surprising to learn that the idea behind this method (using synonyms) is the basis for the acronym generator itself. You can use Mindmaps, or use just the acronym generator, each way has it's strengths. Mindmaps can also work alongside the acronym generator to help you come up with the perfect name for your project, group, product or organisation. Or if you're simply looking for a funny acronym generator, reverse acronym generator, or acronym generator from letters, look no further.

An acronym that makes sense can also be a great memory aid. Meaningful acronyms are at best like mantras that help one get to the very core / essence of the topic. As a study aid though, to be honest you might be faster with a sentence based generator such as a mnemonic generator as it creates even more absurd things than this and absurd is proven to be more memorable.

The acronym generator was designed to be used just like you use a search engine: simply enter your keywords. For example, by entering the keywords: 'Seasonal Disarray Melancholy Emotive' in the keywords input above, you can use the acronym generator to get pretty close to the well known acronym for seasonal related depression:

SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorderliness

There are many combinations of similar words that would also work, many of which are synonyms of these keywords. Still, it doesn't hurt to swap or add an extra word, just in case.

The acronym generator results are obviously not man made, so try to see through the mud: if you like an acronym word but there's a component word you don't like, try clicking the + sign to expand the acronym and view alternative results, or substitute the unwanted word in your head, or copy and paste it somewhere leaving a blank there until you think of something better.

Can you think of any other ways of creating acronyms? Let me know!

Now, some history of the backronym:

From Wikipedia: A backronym or bacronym is a specially constructed phrase that is supposed to be the source of a word that is, or is claimed to be, an acronym. Backronyms may be invented with serious or humorous intent, or may be a type of false or folk etymology.

The word is a combination of backward and acronym, and has been defined as a "reverse acronym". Its earliest known citation in print is as "bacronym" in the November 1983 edition of the Washington Post monthly neologism contest. The newspaper quoted winning reader Meredith G. Williams of Potomac, Maryland, defining it as the "same as an acronym, except that the words were chosen to fit the letters".

Backronyms are sometimes created to name laws or programs. The official title of the USA PATRIOT Act, a 2001 Act of the U.S. Congress, is "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001". Commentators have noted a trend among US lawmakers to devise names that form a desired acronym. One recent example is The "Making Access Records Available to Lead American Government Openness Act", introduced during the presidency of Donald Trump by New Mexico Congressman Tom Udall, or the MAR-A-LAGO Act (making reference to Trump's frequent visits to the Florida mansion and requiring transparency in publishing visitor logs, which the administration has refused to do).
