I think it is just a model number with no other meaning....... just so you know, the Banshee's model number is YFZ-350.

Ya, it's just the model number. If you look in your manual you'll see a longer model number which the YFZ name originally came from.

Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but Honda made the Fourtraxx 4 wheelers. It may have something to do with the TRX. The rest, I think they just went through the alphabet and picked some that sounded good together.

The 'y' probably means Yamaha. The 'f' definitely means four stroke. The 2-stroke bikes were YZ, the 4-stroke ones, YZF so the quad with the same motor became YFZ.

NO, IT's a rip off of the original "YFZ" yfz-350 AKA the BANSHEE. Deffinetly not a 4 stroke. It just didn't get a cool name like any other yamaha bikes.
