It doesn't stand for anything. The 'C' language was developed as an improvement over its predecessor, which was called 'B'. (I'm not joking).

The predecessor of 'B' was called 'BCPL', which was an initialism for "Basic Combined Programming Language". The ancestor of BCPL was CPL, and CPL was a descendant of ALGOL.

C does not stand for any specific abbreviation. C is from CPL (Computer Programming Language), then BCPL (Basic Computer Programming Language), which spawned both B (pretty much unused now) and C.
