APJ stands for Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen, which is his father's name. The full name is Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam. This naming convention (son carrying father's name) is common in Tamil Nadu and parts of South India. The other options are fabricated combinations that do not represent his actual name.
