Why did Java chose Xmx and Xms naming convention for heap sizes?
As per online description following are properties used in Java linked with Sizes:
Use -Xmx to specify the maximum heap size
Use -Xms to specify the initial Java heap size
Use -Xss to set the Java thread stack size
What is meaning of mx and ms? Does mx means maximum and ms means what?

Yes, ms = minimum heap size / heap memory start size and mx = maximum heap size.
