It actually means 'Non-Breaking Space' and is a way of having or 'spaces' in fields that do not cause programs that 'do things' when they detect a space in a field to terminate.

In computery language (e.g. when designing a website) people use HTML codes to lay out the text.  For example, if people want to put a word in bold, like this:

one two three

you would need to type

one <B>two</B> three

and the computer understands the instructions more quickly.  Nowadays we humans have easier things to make things bold, or underlined, or in colour, but when a computer is reading a load of instructions to put a web-page onto a computer-screen, it works more quickly with HTML stuff.
