Example:
ping/?
ping 127.0.0.1
ping<local coputer in the Net>
ping<network>
ping<ip>

PING stands for Packet INternet Groper. It transmits data packets to
the destination to verify whether communication link is ok.

Quote from the page:
From my point of view PING is not an acronym standing for Packet InterNet

Mills offered this expansion of the name, so perhaps we're both right.
