It stands for "Stock-Keeping Unit. Excerpt from the Microsoft docs:

Sku

Represents a purchasable Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) under a product. These represent the different shapes of the product.

It seems in line with the Wikipedia definition:

In the field of inventory management, a stock keeping unit is a distinct type of item for sale.
