>> Yes, BIND is an acronym for Berkeley Internet Name Daemon.
> Berkeley Internet Name Domain.

Perhaps you're both right, sort of.

http://www.isc.org/software/bind/whatis :
The name BIND stands for "Berkeley Internet Name Daemon"

Wikipedia also mentions both versions of the name, on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIND :
The acronym of BIND is Berkeley Internet Name Domain in a technical paper
published in 1984. However, the most common acronym today and the one that
can be found on the ISC web site is Berkeley Internet Name Daemon.
