What does ISLISP stand for?
A–> Nothing. At the request of John McCarthy, Lisp’s creator, no single language that is a member of the Lisp family is to be intended to be the definitive dialect; that is, none is to be called just “LISP.” Consequently, ISLISP does not mean “this IS LISP” nor does it mean “International Standard for LISP.” (There is an international standard for ISLISP, but there is not an international standard for LISP.) ISLISP is just a name the WG16 committee made up one day for want of a better name.
