I thought it was named after jiffy, because gifs are smaller than jpgs and download faster.

No, they've explicitly said that it is pronounced JIF because it is named after JIFF the peanut butter. The creator has stated such since the beginning.

Not that it matters anymore as PNG can do everything GIF can, and can do it better too. No, not just some things, everything.
