It is an obsolete lens mounting standard developed by Canon that has not been in production since about 1990. It was superceded by the EF (Electro Focus) mount for EOS lenses, which were the forerunners of electronic focus. Apparently, Canon has never divulged what, if anything, that FD stands for.

Is a Canon AE-1 lens compatible with the Canon digital SLR EF lens mount?

The AE-1 lenses have Canon's FD breech-lock lens mount. They are not compatible with Canon's later EF lens mount. It may be possible to find an adapter, but performance would be lost, and the lens will not have the features of an EF lens. Best to save your money and get a dedicated lens, either Canon or Sigma.
