ohms doesn't stand for anything. it is the measurement of the resistance an object has to current flow. like a meter is a way to measure distance. 1 ohm of resistance connected to a 1 volt power supply will have 1 Amp of current flowing threw the device.
RMS stands for root means square. It is what you should look at when you are buying amps and speakers. I believe it is .707 x peak power?
