Does anyone knows why we call Vancouver International Airport "YVR"?
That's the code for Vancouver International Airport.
If you haven't noticed, all airports have a 3-character code. For example, LAX for Los Angeles International, HKG for Hong Kong International.
Most Canadian airports start with a Y, and VR is short for Vancouver.

As per the previous answer, "YVR" is the 3 letter IATA (International Air Transport Association) code for Vancouver International Airport. All airports (& airlines) have an IATA code & an ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) code. Fyi - the ICAO code for YVR is "CYVR". For airports, the IATA code is always 3 letters & the ICAO code is 4 letters.

YVR is just the airport code. Every airport in the world has one.

Kathy and Colin are both right. The Y is just an arbitrary letter.

I THINK ITS THE ABBREVIATION FOR THE FRENCH NAME OF THE AIRPORT BUT I COULD BE WRONG.

It's on the east coast on an island. Take 99 to Bridgeport and then go east. Merge onto Grant McConachie Way. You can't miss it.
