So, GTA stands for Grand Theft Auto because it literally is about the grand-scale theft of autos (cars, if ya didn't catch that). The game's all about committing crimes, with car theft being one of the main activities. Makes perfect sense once you think about it, huh?

GTA is called Grand Theft Auto 'cause that's the fancy legal term for carjacking, which is a huge part of the game. You're playing as a criminal getting into all sorts of trouble, including stealing cars, hence the title.
