What is R2 mean in Windows Server 2012?

Indeed, R2 = release two; like Windows Server 2008 R2. It’s a minor release; you can see it by the major+minor build numbers.

What means R2 in Windows Server?

It’s called R2 because it’s a different kernel version (and build) from 2008. Server 2008 uses the 6.0 kernel (build 6001), 2008 R2 uses the 6.1 kernel (7600). See the chart on wikipedia.
