There is no definite definition, it is just a name of a city. Washington (George) named the capital Washington D.C. after him. He couldn't name it just Washington, because there was a Washington State. D. C. means "District of Columbia." because Washington D.C. isn't a definite part of any state... actually, it is in Virginia and Maryland, right on the border (if you don't know where that is, on a map it is on the right (east) side of the USA, next to the Atlantic Ocean.).
