I guess that <div> might actually stand for: "division" since it creates a division in the document by separating content before and after it. Am I right?

But <span> is a little bit more obscure on its meaning. I made some googling on this and found some interesting options: "Super Passive Analyzer Node", "SPAce Node", "Simple Plain Access Node".

Does anyone know the right acronym for <span>?
