Android Key Store - Name of Organizational Unit

I have developed a nice Android application with PhoneGap build.

But now I am unable to upload it to google playstore for signing issue.

After playing with Google, I got a way to sign it using keystore tool.

Everything is fine.

But it is asking for Name of Organizational Unit.

Now what is it? Where can I find it? What's it's necessity?

I am unable to proceed without it.

Thanks.

It is the name of the department of your company in which you work, if you work at one. See here for example.
