RSVP is an abbreviation for the French phrase "Respondez S'il Vous Plait." In English, RSVP stands for "Reply Please!"
If you have received a invitation with an RSVP notation, you are being asked to respond and let your hosts know whether or not you are able to attend

R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which means "please reply." The person sending the invitation would like you to tell him or her whether you accept or decline the invitation. That is, will you be coming to the event or not?

It is Respond please, in French as was said. To the one saying we aren't French BIG DEAL. We aren't latin either but we still use RX. We still use initials from plenty of other languages. Come to Pennsylvania and we still refer to the "Pennsylvania Dutch", which dates back to colonial times and Germans trying to explain they were from Deutshland(and I proably totally misspelled that) which was instead heard as "Dutch land." I could easily find examples of our country using things from other countries and having misunderstandings to change other things. That is what makes America a MELTING POT.

respondez s'il vous plait. Reply please. You must reply to an invite when you see this, as the sender is trying to assess numbers for a social event

As others have mentioned, it comes from the French phrase meaning "Please Respond." But that begs another question, "Respond to what?"
It means that they want to know beforehand whether or not you will be in attendance. If you can make it, please let them know. If you can't make it, please let them know. This allows the host to accurately know how many people will be there, and plan food and activities accordingly.
