Actually it stands for "iterator" and j and k are alphabetically next so your assumption there is spot on. I worked at a company that had coding standards that were put in place by a group of people who said "you can't use 1 letter abbreviations as they don't make any sense" to which I replied with "unless your using an iterator in a loop". Exception found.
