Why change when when there is no reason?

That is just wrong. Hi-Fi is indeed a shortened version of High Fidelity. Wi-Fi is for Wireless Fidelity. The first encryption for wi-fi was WEP: WIred Equivalent of Privacy, an attempt to give wireless communications the same privacy as a network cable.
The current standard is WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access which is an acronym made, in part, from an abbreviation which in turn was created to sound like a marketing term (Hi-Fi) from a time before stereo for a technology (vinyl records) that died before many of us were alive.
