The name 文王卦/Wen Wang Gua (WWG) means "King Wen's fortune telling hexagrams" (or trigrams, since gua/卦 can mean either hexagram or trigram). King Wen of Zhou and his son are traditionally said to be the authors of the Yi. It is a method of interpreting the results of the Yi hexagrams that was first described in writing by Jing Fang in Han dynasty China.
It is based on correlating trigrams to the Celestial Stems and Earthly Branches of the Chinese calendar, and then using the stem and branches, alongside the Five Elements to interpret the lines of the trigrams and hexagrams of the Yi.
