What exactly does DIN stand for (an acronym, I assume).

DIN (audio)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A "DIN" is a size standard for car audio head units. The standard was
established by the Deutsches Institut für Normung.

Head units generally come in either single DIN (180 x 50 mm panel) or double
DIN (180 x 100 mm panel). The depth is not standard. The original German DIN
standard has, since 1992, been superseded by International Standard ISO
10599.

The term DIN is not an abbreviation as thought by many, but rather a unit of
measurement like centimeters, inches, and so on
