I think it stands for "type CERN into a search engine and find out".

The acronym is "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire"

But the real title of the lab in French is "Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire"

Its English title is 'European Organization for Nuclear Research'.

Why do you want to know?

For the history of the name, take a look here:
