As far as i know, it comes from the fact that Velocity was started as
an Apache licensed alternative to WebMacro's templates which always
had the suffix "wm". I imagine, naming Velocity templates with the
"vm" suffix made more sense then. These days, i think "vtl" is more
sensible, but old conventions die hard. :)

Hi,
Velocity was created and released under Apache license terms as a clean room re-implementation of WebMacro which used the file extension "*.wm".
Velocity used a file extension of "*.vm", standing for "Velocity Macro". Other extensions are also being used for Velocity templates: ".vtl" and ".vsl" (Velocity Stylesheet).
The declarative Velocity engine DVSL additionally uses either ".dvsl" or ".vslt" extensions (analogous to ".xslt").
Kind regards,
Christoph
P.S. I just saw Nathan answered almost the same while I just finished this answer.
