It is the name of an application, rather than a noun representing an
actual thing.
We programmers like to come up with names we consider to be clever,
but different people have differing ideas of what is clever...
Perhaps it stands for "GNU Calculator", but I could not find anything
stating that specifically.

It may be Gnu Calculator, but I am fairly certain that it is Gtk
Calculator... there are a lot of KDE programs that start with K, and a
lot of Gnome(or Gtk) programs that start with G, but so do a lot of GNU
programs (such as Gimp)
It is a silly naming convention people have used, but also can be fairly
descriptive if you don't want to install a ton of KDE stuff (for things
that start with K), or a bunch of Gtk/Gnome stuff.
Lubuntu is (right now) a Gtk based desktop (LXDE), though an
experimental Qt (the toolkit used by KDE) version is in the works right
now :)
