The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle," named after the company ArmaLite, which developed the firearm in the late 1950s. It does not stand for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle." The design was intended for use by the U.S. military, but it has since become popular for civilian use in various contexts.
