What does the "c" in cmake stand for?

I've not been able to find a definitive answer on google. I think it means cross-platform.

Is there another site that is more appropriate for this kind of question?

It stands for cross-platform . See the Statement from Brad King

It does not stand for compile or cross compile but generates the make/project files for this step.

It does not stand for C or C++ because multiple programming languages are supported.

It does not stand for the third generation of any of the make / nmake tools because they are still required.
