Intel stands for "Intelligent Logic." Yes?

I think it's something like INTelligent ELectronics.

INTEL = INTegrated ELectronics.

My 1977 Intel Data Catalog says:

Intel was organized in 1968 to utilize the rapidly expanding technology
of Integrated Electronics. During its brief history, Intel has become the
world's largest supplier of MOS circuits, and is in the top ten of the
world's producers of all semiconductor devices.

My understanding of this is that INTEL stands for
INTEL, and all other derivations are afterthoughts.
(Geez, you'd think I should be able to say this
with greater certainty! :-))

You can go ahead and throw away the 1977 Intel Data Catalog. Most of the
items are still to be found in the 1992 data books anyway, with the same
ADVANCE INFORMATION headings on each page.
