Isn't it the last name of the guy who is credited with starting the rating system? Dr. Arpad Elo? Or something like that?

"Elo" is often written in capital letters (ELO), but it is not an acronym. It is the family name of the system's creator, Arpad Elo (1903–1992), a Hungarian-born American physics professor.

p.s. Careful not to stuble across anything related to electric light orchestra or electronic literature organization :-)
