From Wikipedia :
"It is popularly believed that Dave Cutler intended the initialism 'WNT' as a pun on VMS, incrementing each letter by one, similar to the apocryphal story of Arthur C. Clarke's deriving HAL 9000's name by decrementing each letter of IBM. While this would have suited Cutler's sense of humor, the project's earlier name of NT OS/2 belies this theory. Another of the original OS/2 3.0 developers, Mark Lucovsky, states that the name was taken from the Intel i860 processor—code-named N10 (or 'N-Ten')—which served as the original target hardware. Various Microsoft publications, including a 1998 question-and-answer session with Bill Gates,[1] reveal that the letters were expanded to 'New Technology' for marketing purposes but no longer carry any specific meaning."
VMS is another project of Dave Cutler :
"Microsoft hired a group of developers from Digital Equipment Corporation led by Dave Cutler to build Windows NT, and many elements of the design reflect earlier DEC experience with Cutler's VMS and RSX-11. The operating system was designed to run on multiple instruction set architectures and multiple hardware platforms within each architecture. The platform dependencies are largely hidden from the rest of the system by a kernel mode module called the HAL."
Wikipedia mentions also another meaning :
"NT has grown from being called "Nice Try" to passing Unix in 2005 for sales of servers according to IDC, a market research firm based in Framingham, Massachusetts"
