This could be a lively debate unless someone provides an authoritative 
response.  I always throught VME = VersaBus Modular Equipment.  VersaBus
is the name Motorola originally gave to their bus standard.

Hmmmm. From page 1 of _The VMEbus Handbook_... "The term VME stands for
Versa Module Eurocard and was first coined in 1981 by the group of
manufacturers who defined it." ... "VMEbus grew out of an older standard
called VERSAbus which was defined by Motorola."
