Used only with proper names, I believe. |
"sigla" is "abbreviation"
Two more: "AAMM" (Artes Marciales/Martial Arts) or "DDCC" (Deportes de Contacto/Contact Sports). Thanks to chileno know I know why :P |

RRHH: Recursos humanos

Very important here for children: SS.MM.RR.MM de Oriente (Sus Majestades los Reyes Magos :present: :D )

JchenIf the word is singular, one letter:
RAE: Real Academia Española (de la Lengua) TVE: Tele-Visión Española if its a plural, double letter: EEUU: Estados Unidos RRHH Recursos Humanos SS MM RR MM de oriente Sus Majestades los Reyes Magos Already said but to make it clear. Saludos :D |
EEUU is very common. You will also sometimes see EUA (Estados Unidos de América).

Adding to Sosia's explanation:
In Spanish, all abbreviations (abreviaciones) in plural must have their letters written twice: EEUU = Estados Unidos FFCC = Ferrocarriles DDHH = Derechos Humanos "Siglas" are different. They're formed by taking the first letter of each word: EUA = Estados Unidos de América ONU = Organización de las Naciones Unidas FMI = Fondo Monetario Internacional An "acrónimo" is formed taking several letters from the title to make words one can pronounce: Conagua: Comisión Nacional del Agua Semarnat: Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales Ferronales: Ferrocarriles Nacionales |
