In English military parlance, D-Day is a term often used to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. While the initial D in D-day does not stand for anything, it often represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will or has occurred; see Military designation of days and hours for similar terms.

It stands for Demarcation. As in a day when a boundary was crossed. It was a common term duing amphibious assuaults in the past. There were actualy a lot of d-days, but the term "D-Day" now just refers to the one on June 6th, since it was the largest amphibious landing in history, before or since.
