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.
Here are some professional titles you may run into: 1  MD: Stands for Medical Doctor. 2  PhD.: Stands for Doctor of Philosophy. 3  PsyD.: Stands for Doctor of Psychology.  DMin.: Stands for Doctor of Ministry, a degree which may held by a minister.
