In HTML table, what does td stand for? I mean literally, what is it an acronym for? Table division? Table data?

The fifth paragraph in this section of the HTML 4.01 specifications explicitly states:

Table cells may either contain "header" information (see the TH element) or "data" (see the TD element).

Yeah, table data. It doesn't make sense if you don't know about th, table header, since without it table cell would be a better one.

It means table data which is basically a cell or column.

Note also that tr stands for table row.
