A couple of us were talking about this at lunch. I have no way of knowing if this is true, but the name "Arby's " was explained as RB's, Roast Beefs. May not be true, but it sounds good.

I thought the same thing until I saw a story about Arby's on CNBC a few years back:

The brothers took a chance and on Thursday, July 23, 1964, when they opened their first quick service roast beef sandwich shop in Boardman, Ohio. They were going to call it “Big Tex,” but that name was already in market use, so they called the shop “Arby’s” based on the initials of “R” and “B” of Raffel Brothers.

Here is some more information for those who may be interested:
