Why is the team called / named U.N.C.L.E? - A Group of People Sitting on the Chair while Communicating on Laptop

I'm talking about The Man from U.N.C.L.E

At the middle of the movie, I thought uncle Rudi will play a vital role and the film was named after him. But at the end scenes we saw basically the team of three (Solo, Illya & Gaby) is given a name "U.N.C.L.E". But why? What's the meaning of that name?

They're basically from three intelligence (CIA, Russian, British). It doesn't reflect that too. What does U.N.C.L.E represent? Did I miss it?

If you actually read that link, you'd see it was explained in the movie's MB. ;o)
