"Yahoo" is actually an happy exclaimation. It can mean "I made it", "Success!" or "Yipeeee!" I guess Yahoo got its name cos people are happy when they see results from their searching. I could be wrong though!

The Web site started out as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki" - both named after legendary sumo wrestlers.

It is a word that conveys excitement!!

I really can't tell you any more than that except that I wish I'd been the brilliant one to come up with the site, because I'd be a billionaire by now...
