It is from the Latin phrase, "requiescat in pace."
"Rest in peace" is a mistranslation. A proper translation is "let him rest in peace."

Why would you direct this to Christians? It means Rest in Peace. Not a christian related topic.

R.I.P. is an acronym for 'Rest In Peace', and generally has nothing to do with Christianity.

I'm confused... Is this a "Christian" questions? Am I missing something here? I always knew it to stand for "Rest in Peace."
