Yes it stood for Eric Noah, AFAIK it was never changed because of the name recognition. Just would not have the same feel if it was changed to Morrus' World. (no offense)
Actually, I think these boards originally started as a place to discuss various communal campaign worlds that started on Erics old boards. They wanted to pay homage to the starting place, so EN world was born (Eric Noah's Worlds, or something like that. The worlds from Eric Noah's boards).
When Eric closed down his site, Morrus and Enworld took over.

Not sure how Eric's site started. But it was a news source for 3E. IIRC he found that it just took too much of his time and he needed to get back to some basics like having a life (not that I would know what one of those are) so Morrus took over. By that time there were already ENWorld mugs, T-shirts, etc and I think the first ENnies too. So there was a lot of history there and the name was not changed.
