Like emacs.d, some programs have name like xxx.d for init files.
What does this d means? Is this abbreviation of something?

The basic reason is it is easyest to copy a file to a directory, than to edit a section of a file.
see for instance : /etc/logrotate.d.
Thoses directories are used to store many configuration files, to allow automatic installer to deploy (or to remove) their own plugin/setting.
