I see so many people saying it, when I have no idea what it means.

It's Lua,(not LUA). It doesn't stand for anything, but it means 'moon' in Portuguese o.O

"What is LUA?" is one of the biggest mysteries to the universe, up there among "Are there aliens?" and "What is 42?"

1) Go to Scripters, not SH.
2) Lua does not stand for anything.

Literally on the Lua website...

"Lua" (pronounced LOO-ah) means "Moon" in Portuguese. As such, it is neither an acronym nor an abbreviation, but a noun. More specifically, "Lua" is a name, the name of the Earth's moon and the name of the language. Like most names, it should be written in lower case with an initial capital, that is, "Lua". Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write "Lua" right!
