It was supposed to be the last Dragon Ball series, so it was called Z as a way of saying "This is the end".

reddit to the rescue

In the Son Goku Densetsu, Toriyama comments of how the term "Z" came into the series.
I heard a rumor that you added the Z to the title because of an energy supplement that had Z in its name.
Toriyama: Well, thats wrong (laughs). Z is the last letter in the alphabet, right? So, at the time I already really wanted to end the series, and so I made the title Z to say Hey, this is the end! I dont remember saying a single thing about any energy supplement. You really cant go by rumors (laughs).
Nakatsuru: Did you imagine anything else besides Z?
Toriyama: No, I dont think so. Personally I thought that the title was fine the way it was, but the people on the anime staff said they wanted an image change, so I figured well, this should be OK.
You did not ask, but here is what "GT" stands for as well:
In the introduction for the Dragon Box GT, Toriyama comments that GT stands for 'Grand Touring'.
in car lingo, GT means Gran Turismo: a fast, high-powered car, in other words. But in this case, I had GT mean Grand Touring, a great journey, since the scenario was that theyd be running around the universe."

Why are the Z-Warriors called that?
The Z Fighters is an old silly fan made term. As /u/Tyrokith and /u/EmmaWinters pointed out, which I was not aware of, the English dub uses it in the episode titles. The Japanese dub also decided to use "Z Warriors" as well. Speaking of Japanese, it is better to use "Z Warriors" than "Z Fighters". It is a better translation. Also, in the the fandom, you may also see "Earth's Special Forces" used, but this was only used in the Ocean Dub. This term is not commonly used but it is still there nonetheless.

"Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion. "Overachieving" is also an opinion. - SBAllen (Hellhole: 52458377)
