In reply to Question: what's the origin of letter n in math... posted by griffith on Tuesday, June 12 2018 at 1:57:56PM
But it was originally shorthand, if you like, for 'number' where the number (or, if you're getting technical, integer if a whole number) couldn't be specified, i.e. it was a variable.

Hope that helps!

TTFN,
