Stands for nothing. It is just the letter befor L (for Linux), I think I
have seen/read somewhere.
Now does anyone know where did X, Xserver come from?

You're going back a few years, but as I recall it they couldn't think of a
spiffy name so they just called it 'X'. Also known as 'X Window' or 'The X
Window System'. Maybe someone else knows a more apocryphal story...

Nonsense. "X" is the successor to "W". "W" was a windowing

No. We know the truth. Googling for "X window" history
eliminates any need to spread apocryphal information.

That's what it originally stood for. Now, the K stands for K. As in "The K

At least, that is what the 'C' in CDE stands for, I believe.
