Taken from the Wikipedia page

In deciding on a name, Moore and Noyce quickly rejected "Moore Noyce",[21] homophone for "more noise" – an ill-suited name for an electronics company, since noise in electronics is usually very undesirable and typically associated with bad interference. Instead they used the name NM Electronics before renaming their company Integrated Electronics or "Intel" for short.[22] Since "Intel" was already trademarked by the hotel chain Intelco, they had to buy the rights for the name.[18][23]

Most likely some cut down version of Intelligence or Intelligent. Or most likely we're acting like English teachers, trying to find a deep meaning of something that doesn't. EDIT: It means Integrated Electronics...

I never knew that. I thought they just meant Intel as in "let's gather intel!".

Intel stands for money. Mountains upon mountains of money. More specifically, your money. All of your money.

If only I could remember their slogan before the "Intel Inside" one.
