The word "limited" stands for "limited liability". This means that the liability of a shareholder in a company for the company's debts (for example, in an insolvency or liquidation scenario) is "limited" to any unpaid capital on their shares. In most cases, there will be no amount unpaid (ie. a fully paid share) and so no liability of a shareholder for the company's debts.
