Hey it could stand for
Gyrating Ardvark Parade ..... or maybe
Grandma's Apple Pie. The guy who opened the first store used to have his grandma bring in apple pie, that would attract customers. That was just made up, but sounded good right.
I have no idea if the name is an acronym or just means the Gap (open space), but this may come as a shock to you......
some statements made on the internet are not true.

Founded in 1969 by Donald Fisher, The Gap was to be Mr. Fisher's solution to the problem of a lack of customer service and fashionable styles present in department stores of the era. By creating a speciality shop dedicated to the sale of Levi's blue jeans, Mr. Fisher hoped to capitalize on the 'gap' that had opened in the market.

GAP originally known as ‘The Gap’ was started in 1969 by Donald Fisher and Doris Fisher. ‘GAP’ does not stand for gay and proud. It's only an urban legend that incorrectly states that it stands for gay and proud.
GAP is a clothing brand that derives its name from the word ‘generation gap’ between adults and children.

As the company controls the "Gap" trademark, there have been conflicts with others over what constitutes acceptable use of the common English word "Gap" in other products and locations. As a result, the company threatened litigation against Bootleg Gap, a golf course in Kimberley, British Columbia, named after an opening in the nearby Bootleg Mountain.
After three years of expensive negotiations, and without the funds to defend itself in court, the golf course agreed to remove the word "Gap" from its restaurant and 27 holes. It also renamed its whole clothing line "Bootleg Golf." The legal costs from the negotiations delayed landscaping and cart paving projects for the golf course.[5]

No. The first Gap was opened in 1969 by a husband and wife in California.
"I created Gap with a simple idea: to make it easier to find a pair of jeans. We remain committed to basic principle."
-Don Fisher, Gap Inc. Founder and Chairman Emeritus

it was named the GAP for the tweens, not yet adult but no longer a child, guess that was a bad idea considering how tweens can make up things out of anything
