What does CB stand for?

Question:
I have recently purchased a CB radio for my car. A CB radio is what semi truck drivers use to communicate with each other. I have been using my CB radio for a couple of months and never really stopped to think, "What does the CB really stand for?" If you know this please respond. Im very curious.
