The article says (and I see that it has been edited recently - maybe in response to Konstantin's suggestion?):
"The format... *had* (my emphasis) the name TIFF as the acronym for (Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)) [2] ..." and it goes on to say in the footnote that "Version 6 (1993) of the TIFF specification dropped... all references to TIFF being an acronym".
This agrees with what you are saying, but perhaps the historical meaning of TIFF should be in the fine print and the current meaning should be in the main article.
