Lisp languages stem from the general concept of representing a program as a data structure made up of lists. Hence, LISt Processing. There are a lot of variations in how things can work though, for example how variables are scoped and bound, how variables and functions are referenced, the built-in functions, how macros work, etc. You should do a bit of wikipedia reading and googling though, because this is a rich, interesting topic that is worth exploring, and it is probably too general a question for this list.
