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

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)<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 :)<br>
