The "D" simply stands for "Day". The term was first used in WWI by the US Army. "We will attack on "H" hour of "D" Day.
Confirmed with US Army also see Ambrose, D-Day CBWII

i saw something yesterday on the History Channel and they mentioned this same thing. I dont think the "d" meant anything.. it was just a code referring to the day of attack... and it was used commonly, not just in referrence to the allied landing in France.
