What does PHP stand for?

I'm digging a little into the PHP language so I can do some simple scripts when I rehost this blog. As a programming language and etymology geek, my first question was: what the heck does PHP stand for? According to the FAQ, "PHP is a recursive acronym that stands for: PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". But wait, there's more -- PHP succeeds any earlier incarnation called "PHP/FI" where PHP stood for "Personal Home Page".
