What does XZ mean?

Xz
xz is a lossless compression program and file format which incorporates the LZMA/LZMA2 compression algorithms. These are the same compression formats used by the 7-Zip program and its command-line version p7zip. However, .xz has a different file format, which is not compatible with the .7z format used by 7-Zip; notably, xz compresses a bytestream and in itself has no knowledge of files or much of their metadata (for that, a multi-file container like .tar/.cpio will have to be used), while the multi-file aware .7z lacks support for Unix-like file system metadata.
