Hard to guess, it'll be something we probably can't predict.  But their logic behind the name Wii was that they wanted it to represent people connecting and getting together it's meant to sound like the word 'We' and NES/SNES were called Famicom and Super Famicom in japan as a shortening for Family Computer, so I'm guessing it'll be something along those lines.   The Nintendo Unus (source words Unite and us) is my best guess.
