Utm - what does this mean in the campaigns?

Someone has any idea with the word - utm?
It normally appears in google’s tracker and many other email or sales campaigns.

This word is common to most applications (in the URL parameters or within the javscripts), and I ask about it.

Thanks.

I think that’s from when Google Analytics was Urchin, i.e. Urchin Tracking Module:
