The 'C' stood for "Constant Memory" when it was first used. Back then, a calculator that didn't lose its memory when switched off was a rarity and it was something worth crowing about.

"Constant Memory" is how TI advertised the feature http://www.thimet.de/CalcCollection/Calc...-58C-M.JPG

I've never seen an explanation for the Spice series' E suffix. Given that being less expensive than their predecessors was their main selling point, maybe it stood for Economy?
