What "Lua" does mean?

[Johnny]

I was always wondering what Lua does mean when I play Garry's Mod or Project Zomboid. But seriously, what Lua does mean?

Lua is a scripting language used by many games.

What is Lua?
Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
