Probably standing for Root A. "A" standing for Aogiri and "Root" for the root of a tree. – Nov 07 '15 at 20:10

√A ("root A") is a reference to and pun on the Aogiri Tree organization, which is the focus of the second season. "A" is simply the first letter of the organization, and the root is a pun on tree root (since it's the Aogiri Tree).

7There is another theory that it's "Route A", since the anime has some deviation at the beginning of the season. – nhahtdh Mar 27 '15 at 17:51

@nhahtdh Interesting. I could see that being a plausible explanation, too. – Cattua Mar 27 '15 at 17:53
