It's not an abbrev. It's the brand Mazda used to introduce the RX-7 back in the motherland.
RX-7's were called Efini till about 98-99. Then they became Mazda RX-7's.

Some of us LHD cars have swapped out the emblems for the Efini emblem because it's alot more appealing than the "flame" emblem.

Other times you see the Efini emblem when the car is RHD.

Efini was used by Mazda like Toyota uses Lexus, or Honda uses Acura, the idea was to position Efini as the premium brand above Mazda.
