It stands for nothing, except "mind your own business." I recommend Miss or Mrs.
Ms., Miss, Mr., and Mrs. are all honorific abbreviations. Ms. can be used for a single or married woman. Miss is reserved for single women who have never been married. Mr. is used for an adult man and Mrs. is used for a married or widowed woman.
Miss. or Ms. is when a lady is single Mrs. is when the lady is married
If you do not know if the woman is single; married or widowed then you can use 'Ms.' If you know they are single then use 'Miss' or 'Ms.' and 'Mrs.' for married women or widowed women.
It is Miss if your NOT married and Ms. if your divorced If You ARE married it is Mrs.
Miss is the title used most often by single women. Mrs. is used mostly by women in traditional marriages. Ms. is used mostly by married women who keep their original last name and by divorced women.
Miss is sometimes used for single women and Mrs. is sometimes used for married women. The abbreviation that is sometimes used for both is Ms.
The title "Ms" was originally created by feminists around the early 1970s in order to have a title for women that is equal to the title "Mr" for men. The title "Mr" does not denote whether a man is married or single, and the title "Ms" was meant to be used in the same way, by women either single or married. "Ms" was never meant to be an abbreviation of the word "Miss," as a previous answer to this question stated. It is sad, that after nearly 40 years since being created, that such a question as "What does it mean when a woman uses Ms before her name" would be asked.
Ms meens married shitbagg
No, it should be Mr. & Mrs. John Doe. You only use 'Ms.' if you are addressing a letter to someone you do not know is married or single or; in these modern times some women prefer you address them as Ms.

Ms. can work for married or not married.
Ms, like Mrs and Miss, is a contraction of the honorific "Mistress", which is the feminine of "Mister" or "Master". However, unlike Miss and Mrs., it does not presume the addressee's marital status. Ms. originated in the United States and was popularized in the 1970s. It is now the default form of address for business correspondence with a woman.
