It means, 'organizational beginnings.' The 12 months of the year, the 12 tribes of Israel. Multiples are similarly defined yet more intense like 360 days in the Hebrew calendar (30 x 12) or the 144,000 saved in Revelations (1000 x 12 x 12).
Usually the number is in reference to the Nation of Israel, the Jewish people (i.e. 12 tribes of Israel, 144,000 witnness's 12000 from each tribe, Genesis 12 begginning of the Hebrew people with the calling out of Abraham, etc)
