The term "Bible" is not an acronym, but a word derived from the Greek "biblia" meaning "books". It doesn't stand for anything, rather it refers to the collection of religious texts held sacred by different religious groups. The term came to be used around the 2nd century and it signifies the 'books' of the Bible, acknowledging the fact that the Bible is a compilation of various books, each unique and yet collectively forming the holy text we refer to as the Bible. This compilation was actually assembled and recognized over time, not written all at once. So, in essence, the Bible is not an acronym but a Greek word signifying a collection of holy scriptures.
