TTY is a very common abbreviation for TeleTYpewriter. As the terminal
is essentally a "Glass Teletype", or ASCII input-output device, it is
most likely an abbreviation for Virtual TeletYpewriter, perhaps shortened
from VTTY. Radio teletypewriter transmissions on shortwave are known
as "RTTY", for what it's worth.
The name "Teletype" is a trademark, BTW.
