GNU Hurd.

It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

– Thomas (then Michael) Bushnell

And then they slapped the GNU's not UNIX infront for good measure
