MAMETM stands for the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. The project began in 1996 when Nicola Salmoria developed a suite of emulators for specific arcade machines. This software was subsequently merged in to a single program in 1997. The merged suite of hardware emulation code was named MAME (pronounced in the same way as maim in the English language).
MAME is most popular for running MAME ROM images, which are binary dumps of arcade videogame software. This software is packaged in to a standardised format in order to be run on the MAME emulation system.
