It stands for "Emacs Lisp Package Archive", which is much more logical and easier to remember than an unrelated self-referential acronym. There need not be one single ELPA; if one needs to draw a distinction, we can refer to GNU ELPA versus Tom Tromey's ELPA, etc. Stefan's suggestion to use emacs.gnu.org/packages is fine by me too, but even in that case we'd still refer to the package archive as the GNU Emacs package archive, so there's hardly much difference.
