SSID means service set identifier, basically it is a name given to a wireless network. It makes it easier to identify and select different networks from a list.
From Wikipedia:
The SSID can be up to 32 characters long. As the SSID displays to users, it normally consists of human-readable characters. However, the standard does not require this. The SSID is defined as a sequence of 1-32 octets each of which may take any value.

The SSID on wireless clients can be set either manually, by entering the SSID into the client network settings, or automatically, by leaving the SSID unspecified or blank.
