When asked, who or what Godot stood for, Samuel Beckett replied that it suggested itself to him by the slang word for BOOT in French: 'godillot' or 'godasse' because feet play such a prominent role in the play!. This is the explanation he has given most often!.

Beckett said that he regretted calling the absent character ‘Godot’, because of all the theories involving God to which this had given rise!. He also said that if by Godot, he had meant God, he would have said God, and not Godot!. That said, Beckett did once concede, “It would be fatuous of me to pretend that I am not aware of the meanings attached to the word ‘Godot’, and the opinion of many that it means ‘God’!. But you must remember – I wrote the play in French, and if I did have that meaning in my mind, it was somewhere in my unconscious and I was not overtly aware of it!.” Beckett has often stressed the strong unconscious impulses that partly control his writing; he has even spoken of being ‘in a trance’ when he writes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yep, many think it's a metaphor for God, and I just read that Beckett himself claims its about boots (I personally don't think he's being entirely honest) but regardless of the authors intention the audience has related the symbolism to an ever un-punctual diety
