It doesn't stand for anything , its the shortened version of Spion Kop . And it's a place from a battle in the Boer War. A little more information for you if you wish . . . .
SPION KOP, a mountain in Natal on the north side of the Tugela River, and 24 m. W.S.W. of Ladysmith. It is celebrated as the scene of a battle (Jan. 24, 1900) in the Transvaal War, in which the British forces under Sir Redvers Buller were defeated by the Boers (see TRANSVAAL and LADYSMITH). The Spion Kop incident led to much controversy; for an admirable elucidation of the facts see The Times History of tile lVar in South Africa. The name itself (Dutch for Look-out Hill ) is fairly common as a place-name in South Africa.
