From Wikipedia

DWARF is a widely used, standardized debugging data format. DWARF was originally designed along with Executable and Linkable Format (ELF), although it is independent of object file formats. The name is a medieval fantasy complement to "ELF" that had no official meaning, although the name "Debugging With Arbitrary Record Formats" has since been proposed as a backronym. DWARF originated with the C compiler and sdb debugger in Unix System V Release 4 (SVR4). Debugging information such as those in DWARF format are emitted when the -g compiler option is used.
