Red face Porto or Oporto

What's the correct way of referring to this Portuguese city: Porto or Oporto?
By the way, could anyone tell me, please, why you write Oporto?
I've been asked this question several times, and I simply don't know the answer!
Later, IŽll let you know about a joke I've heard about the origin of Oporto. Well, I think it's a joke, and not the real explanation....

Thanks for keeping in touch!
