According to the Johnson and Johnson website http://www.jnjgateway.com, "The K and Y in K-Y Jelly do not stand for or mean anything. This is our trademark name for the product" or something to that effect; sorry if my memory is a bit shaky.

I found this for you satguru: (but I'd better not put the link in here as the rest of the page was for mature audiences only....)
"A spokesperson for K-Y jelly's maker, McNeil-PPC, a division of Johnson & Johnson, says "surprisingly little" is known about the name's origin. The best she could come up with is that KY was a meaningless pair of initials used to designate the product during the research-and-development phase. However, she also says the lubricant was introduced in 1919, which is at odds with trademark office records, so some skepticism is in order."
