Not sure about the Alfa, but Fiat stands for (oh I hope I have this right) something like Federazion International Automobile Tourino. It had never dawned on me that it was an acronym, since it was commonly spelled Fiat instead of FIAT. In looking at the words for FIAT I know they aren't right, but it's something like that.
