What do the domain extensions stand for?

A Domain Name has two parts, name and extension. While you can choose any name for your domain, you can choose the extensions from the pre-defined combination.
Every domain name ends in a top-level domain (TLD) name.
Top level domain (TLD) can be categorized as generic top level domains (gTLD) and country code top level domains (ccTLD).

List of Top-Level Generic extensions (gTLD)

A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country (a sovereign state or a dependent territory). All ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.
