MD does NOT stand for medical doctor, although that's the common interpretation. MD is a Latin abbreviation, Medicinae Doctor. Its English translation is Doctor of Medicine. Similarly, a PhD stands for Philosophiae Doctor, or Doctor of Philosophy, not Philosophical Doctor. We don't use Latin much anymore, so we assign the letters a reasonable English equivalent medical doctor.
MD â This can also have a few different meanings. If you use periods after each letter as in M.D. then it stands for âMedical Doctor,â and is seen behind the name of a doctor. For example, John Jones, M.D. It can also stand for âMuscular Dystrophy,â The name of a rare but disabling muscular disease.
