Acronym for International Standards Organisation.
Also often used as a synonym for CDROM image files, because they usually have an .iso extension, harkening back to the ISO 9660 standard which specifies the CDROM FileSystem.
Some well-known (and some less well-known but commonly encountered) ISO standards include:
Short names and two-letter codes for countries. Used among others for the 2 letter ccTLD names such as .nz, .uk or .de. You might be able to find the list on a GNU/Linux system in /usr/share/zoneinfo/iso3166.tab.
There was a minor kerfuffle in 2004(?) when some ISO staffer proposed charging royalties to anyone using the 2-letter codes in their business, although those plans were quickly dropped following the predictable outcry.
A list of 8-bit character encodings extending ASCII for various European alphabets.
There are several ISO 8859 related ManPages; their wiki copies need some work, since there are duplicates...
