What does “MU-TH-UR” stand for?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
In the movie Alien the ship Nostromo has in it a computer which the crew refer to as "mother". In looking that up I found that "mother" is actually the MU-TH-UR 6000, but I have been unable to find what "MU", "TH" and "UR" stand for.

According to that Wikia article, it was “2.1 terabyte” (I assume hard-drive); so perhaps TH = Terabyte Harddrive?

I'm fairly sure it doesn't stand for anything. There was also a FA/TH/UR in the 4th Alien film.

I don't believe there is a canon answer to what MU-TH-UR stands for.

The acronym is undefined according to this Wikipedia article,
MU-TH-R 182 model 2.1 terabyte AI Mainframe/"Mother", the ship-board
computer on the space ship Nostromo, known by the crew as 'mother,' in
the SF horror movie Alien (cf Dark Star, above, which used a similar
name and was co-written by the primary writer of Alien) (1979)
