Coordinated Universal Time.
UTC was devised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to mitigate confusion arising from the use of several different time-keeping standards.
The reason it became UTC instead of CUT was that the French abbreviation would have been TUC, so UTC was decided upon as a compromise between the English and French abbreviations. As a result of the re-arrangment, UTC is often usually referred to as Universal Coordinate Time.
Universal Coordinated Time (in French -- Temps Universel Coordonné)

Coordinated Universal Time.
Not counting Daylight Saving Time (a.k.a. Summer Time), there are 39 different time offsets used around the world: UTC-11, UTC-10, UTC-9:30, UTC-9, UTC-8, UTC-7, UTC-6, UTC-5, UTC-4:30, UTC-4, UTC-3:30, UTC-3, UTC-2, UTC-1, UTC, UTC+1, UTC+2, UTC+3, UTC+3:30, UTC+4, UTC+4:30, UTC+5, UTC+5:30, UTC+5:45, UTC+6, UTC+6:30, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30, UTC+11, UTC+11:30, UTC+12, UTC+12:45, UTC+13 and UTC+14.

The U. S. time zones are UTC-11, UTC-10, UTC-9, UTC-8, UTC-7, UTC-6, UTC-5, UTC-4 and UTC+10. The African time zones are UTC, UTC+1, UTC+2 and UTC+3.
Russia has many time zones (UTC+3, UTC+4, UTC+6, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+9, UTC+10, UTC+11, UTC+12); China has only one (UTC+8).
The Australian mainland is divided among four different times during Standard Time (UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30 & UTC+10) and six different times during Summer Time (UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30 & UTC+11). Including all of Australia's island territories and its Antarctic station, the total number of Australia's time offsets is eight during Standard Time (UTC+6:30, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30 & UTC+11:30) and nine during Summer Time (UTC+6:30, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30, UTC+11 & UTC+11:30).
