Ummm yeah, no...
Howa is Japanese and founded in 1907.
Weatherby is American and founded in the 40's.
I doubt very much that the Japanese guy who created Howa was planning an English acronym for a rifle 40 years down the road.
That said... Howa used to make some Armalite products, and Weatherby, Smith & Wesson and Mossberg all import Howa components for use in their rifles.
