The UN in U.N.C.L.E. stood for “United Nations”. (The United Nations Command for Law and Enforcement).

“United Network” rather than “United Nations”, albeit the latter was implied.

No, it was United Network Command for Law Enforcement. Just a guess on my part, I suspect it was originally going to be United Nations and someone figured out it would alienate a lot of people.
