DIN as it is used in context with standards means Deutsche Industrie Norm.
The confusion comes from the fact that the office who administers these standards is called Deutsches Institut für Normung, which would also form the DIN acronym. However, when we talk about a DIN fitting or DIN in general, we usually mean the standard, not the office. Right?
