Fop was started by James Tauber; the name is not an acronym (although FOP conveniently can be taken to mean Formatting Object Processor). XSL is about style, and a "fop" is a person who is preoccupied with style, hence the name. I believe that Chris Maden is the person who came up with this. The name was picked well before Fop was presented to Apache XML.
