The original product was called SEQUEL. Structured English QUEry Language. They got sued over the name by a company named Sequel, so changed it to SQL but kept calling it sequel, as do we all.

I call it like that since I'm from SA and I learnt it in english so it was taught to me as an acronym. When learning English I just translated the acronym. Learning the original name is a TIL for me but I'm still calling it like I did fuck it.
