Atmel say that AVR us not an acronym, and does not have any meaning at
all.

AVR's are great microcontrollers though, take a look at the ATMega128
for example. 16mips @ 16mhz, nice clean architecture, low power, low-ish
cost, free dev environment, including free GCC compiler, proper JTAG
debugger interface. I love 'em!
