AMP is an acronym (Accelerated Mobile Pages); the constituent letters do not transparently indicate the meaning of the web standard to learners.

Etymology

AMP comes from the name Accelerated Mobile Pages, where accelerated means 'made faster', mobile means 'for phones', and pages means 'web pages'. So AMP is a way to make simple, lightweight pages that load quickly on phones.
