For simplicity let's tell you look on the positive x axis (meaning, if you walk forward, your x position would increase). 

So x, y, z is position where area starts.

dx is how far from x coordinate forward or backward.

dy is how far from y coordinate up or down.

dz is how far from z coordinate left or right.

Here small example on 2 coordinates. I hope it's readable:

I believe d in dz, dy and dx stand for difference (like delta, why 'd' tho? coz delta isn't a viable character when writing code).

d doesn't refer to "a tiny part of" like you'd learn in calculus. Altho both their meaning is quite similar besides that.
