The acronym stands for "GNU's Not Unix". It's a recursive acronym.
It's the project Stallman started to created a system very much like Unix, but not steal any code.
It's basically Free software--free as in speech.

Also—GNU and the Linux kernel combine to form the various “Linux distos” like Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mint, etc.
