Spa is an acronym, however there are several proposed answers for what it stands for:
• From the Latin words 'Espa' (fountain) and 'Sparsa' (from spargere = to bubble up).
• "Sanus Per Aquam" [S P A] - meaning health by or through water.
• "Solus Per Aqua" [S P A] Latin for enter by means of water. Other interpretation: "health through water".
• “Salut Per Aqua” [S P A] Latin for health or relaxation thru water. Found in graffiti in Roman baths

According to my knowledge SPA is an acronym originating during the Roman Empire, when battle-weary legionnaires found a way to recover from their military wounds and ailments. They sought out hot springs and built baths so they could heal their aching bodies; calling these places 'aquae' and naming the treatment there 'Sanus Per Aquam' (SPA) - meaning 'health by or through water'. ..
