TD stand for Table Data.
Yeah, table data. It doesn't make sense if you don't know about th, table header, since without it table cell would be a better one.
The fifth paragraph in this section of the HTML 4.01 specifications explicitly states:
Table cells may either contain "header" information (see the TH element) or "data" (see the TD element).
