Acronyms are neither synonyms nor abbreviations. An acronym is formed by initials of different parts of a name. UK, USA, UNOare different acronyms. A single acronym may represent different things such as IR represents Indian Railways as well as Irish Republic. It is generally the capitalised initials which are taken to form an acronym.
