The 'D' stands simply for 'Day';
The Allies could not refer to the operation as 'The Invasion of Normandy' for obvious reasons and in order to coordinate events they would simply refer to them as 'H-Hour, D-Day'
It's either D for Decision or Deliverance, but most likely is that D was simply a code letter.D-Day stands for Death Day. Death Day was when a bunch of soldiers stormed a beach in France, and many died.------The real meaning of D-day is less prosaic than Death Day. D is a military short form for day.

D Day was the term used for the actual day of landing, which was dependent on final approval. The code D Day represents a variable in military terms. It is a day upon which some event will have or may have taked place. It has various meaning, but above all it may be translated as the Day of Days or Day- Day, in this case 6th June 1944. The allied invasion of Normandy was also know as Operation Overlord and Operartion Neptune
Nothing. It just sounds cool. Some people try to claim its for "Decision Day" or some such nonsense, but it had no meaning. It just designated the day when an operation was to begin. There were dozens of D-Days during the war, each the day of the start of some planned operation. The one in Normandy on June 6, 1944, has come to be thought of as THE D-Day. Operations further started at H-Hour. Its just a nice alliterative way of designating the day and time.

The "D" in D-Day has no meaning at all. D-Day is and Army term for a military opperation date. The "H" in H-Hour also has no meaning. They were randomly selected.

The D in D-Day has no specific meaning, it just a code word which indicates the specific day for the begining of a particular plan, such as the Normandy Invasion.

There has been some confusion regarding the meaning of the "D" in D-Day. The most likely explanation is offered by the U.S. Army in their published manuals. The Army began to use the codes "H-hour" and "D-Day" during World War I, to indicate the time or date of an operation's beginning. So the "D" may simply refer to the "day" of invasion.
They indicate the specific day or hour when some event was to happen. Thus a D day is the day on which something big was due to happen: one the most famous D-days was day of the Allied landings on Nazi occupied Europe from the UK. This allowed the Allied armies to talk in terms of days before D-day as D-[some number] day without mentioning the specific date. Secrecy was a vitally important aspect of the landings. Similarly, H-hour.
There is no such thing as a "d meaning".

Although people have suggested that the D stood for "Deliverance", "Doom", "Debarkation" or other similar words the D in D-Day had no meaning at all. The term D-Day was once used in many military operations but is now generally only used to refer to the operation on June 6th 1944.
