The Republican party was only called the G.O.P. in 1875, it stood for Gallant Old Party, then in 1876 The term Grand Old Party was used. why these terms were used is uncertain, except that they are the better party so they are the Gallant and the Grand.
Well, now in November of 2010 the G.O.P should stand for Government Of People.

The United States Republican Party is the second oldest currently existing political party in the United States after its rival, the Democratic Party. It emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas Nebraska Act which threatened to extend slavery into the territories, and to promote more vigorous modernization of the economy. It had almost no presence in the South, but in the North it enlisted former Whigs and former Free Soil Democrats to form majorities, by 1858, in nearly every Northern state.
The name itself comes from the partys support of the Republican form of government as layed out by our founders.

Article 4 Section 4 of the United States Constitution guarantees each state in the union a “Republican” form of government. The rigid ideology of republicanism demands defending the republic and the law of the US Constitution. Hence the name Republican which was in contrast the Democratic Party ideology which advocates for democracy.
