It stands for Jay, as in Jay Ward, the shows original producer.
It is a less known fact that Rocky has the same middle initial and for the same reason.
Also Bullwinkle's first name came from a car salesmen named Clarence Bullwinkel because Ward and his assistant Alex Anderson thought it was funny.

Bullwinkle's full name is Bullwinkle J. Moose (not Bullwinkle T. Moose, as sometimes reported). Rocky's full name is Rocket J. Squirrel. Both characters' middle initials allude to J. Troplong Ward and/or William J. Scott. Matt Groening gave the three male members of the Simpson family the same initial as a tribute to Rocky and Bullwinkle: Bartholomew J. Simpson (Bart), Homer J. Simpson, and Abraham J. Simpson (Grandpa).

It was in reference to Jay Ward, Bullwinkle's creator.
Rocky also had the letter J. for his middle initial.

It stands for Jay, for Jay Ward. All the characters had the middle initial "J". Natasha J Fatale, etc.
Not many people know that Jay Ward's real first name was not "Jay", but merely the initial "J".
