Pop started in 1950s in USA as well as UK and is just a shortform of Popular Music. At that time it referred to all kinds of music which were irrespective of their style, mainly this included Rock n Roll alot, after the 1960s pop mostly refers to music which comes out of the big commercial music industry in contrast to independent bands, groups, etc.
