"Why is UTC used as the acronym for Coordinated Universal Time instead of CUT?
In 1970 the Coordinated Universal Time system was devised by an
international advisory group of technical experts within the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The ITU felt it was best
to designate a single abbreviation for use in all languages in order
to minimize confusion. Since unanimous agreement could not be achieved
on using either the English word order, CUT, or the French word order,
TUC, the acronym UTC was chosen as a compromise."

official as it gets.
