Basically its the name

GSP guardian service processor

MP management processor

iLO integrated lights out

In older servers it was called GSP, nowadays in current servers it is called MP/iLO.

Some additional features have been added over the time.

Some other predecessors of the todays MP's are:

AP - access port (e.g. D-class servers)
SP - service processor (T-class servers)
SSP - service support processor (V-class servers)
...

The idea behind was all the time the same, more or less.
