I know
ISP In Socket Programmable
SPI Serial Peripheral Interface.

Not quite!
ISP = In-System Programmable.
ie, the device can be programmed in the target System, without having to be removed from the board and put into a special programming socket.

ISP and SPI are two entirely distinct and separate things:

ISP is a property of a device - either it can be programmed in-system, or it can't.

SPI is an interface - some In-System Programmable devices can be programmed via their SPI port.

Not all devices that have SPI ports can use the SPI port for In-System Programming.

Other interfaces that may be used for In-System Programming include the standard serial port (UART), JTAG, and USB.

Important note from Donald Catto about Atmel's ISP via SPI:

A further step from In-System Programming is In-Application Programming, IAP:
