does the x in x-ray stand for something?

Question

if yes what?

Answer 1

No. When first discovered, the discoverer didn't know what to call it, so he used the term "x" whilst trying to determine a more appropriate designation. He never did, and the term "x-ray" persists to this day. His name, btw, was William Conrad Roentgen. The device with which he discovered x-rays was the Crooke's Tube.
The first x-ray - also called a "radiograph" - of a human part was a radiograph of his own left hand. Here's a challenge for you: was Professor Roentgen married at the time?

Answer 2

Yes. It stands for the energy wave that is used in x-rays via low dose of radiation. When it was first discovered, no one knew what it was exactly, so they named it "X" ray.

Answer 3

X rays were discovered in 1895 by W. C. Roentgen, who called them X rays because their nature was at first unknown; they are sometimes also called Roentgen rays.

No, x-ray represents the type of radiation emitted which is x-ray (shorter wavelength than ultraviolet).
