DJ stands for Disc Jockey; In the past "DJ" was probably affixed to the beginning of stage names to distinguish DJs from MCs in the hip-hop and rap scenes which is really where the art of modern DJing began. After that it really just became standard practice for DJs to put "DJ" in front of their stage names.

However... The practice is no longer universal and many DJs have dropped the "DJ" or never used it to begin with: Deadmau5, Tiesto, and Skrillex to name just a few.
