What does the e stand for in wile Coyote?

The "E" in Wile E. Coyote's name stands for Ethelbert, a name revealed in Dell Comics' Beep Beep the Road Runner #29 (1973), making his full name Wile Ethelbert Coyote, a clever pun on the word "wily," meaning cunning and crafty, perfectly fitting his schemes to catch the Road Runner.
