The letters DNA stand for deoxyribonucleic acid.
The name tells us that it is a nucleic acid, which is to say that it is a polymer of nucleotides, each nucleotide having a phosphate group, a sugar, and a base.
It is an acid because of the phosphate group. At physiological pH values, each phosphate carries a charge of -1.
The sugar is deoxyribose. This is named after ribose (the sugar in RNA); "deoxy-" means that the sugar in DNA has one oxygen atom fewer. The 2' carbon in RNA is -CHOH- but the corresponding carbon in DNA is -CH2- .

The particular order of the bases arranged along the sugar - phosphate backbone is called the DNA sequence; the sequence specifies the exact genetic instructions required to create a particular organism with its own unique traits.
