It stands for the company that made the zipper. It's a Japanese company whose initials are YKK. It stands for Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha. No idea how to pronounce that lol, but yea, that's what it stands for. Good question. I always wondered that as a kid, I always kinda thought it was supposed to be the sound the zipper made when you pulled it up/down real fast lol!

. YKK was founded in Japan as a zipper manufacturing company in 1934 by Tadao Yoshida. In the early years, Mr. Yoshida's company carried his name; it was called Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha or "YKK" for short. Over the years, the letters "YKK" were stamped onto the zippers' pull tabs, and thus YKK became known as the Company's trademark.
