The letter M is the thirteenth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is em .
History
The letter M derives its shape from the Phoenician Mem, via the Greek Mu (Μ, μ). Semitic Mem originally pictured water, in all probability. It is speculated that Semitic people working in Egypt c. 2000 BC borrowed a hieroglyph for Water that was first used for the sound 'N', because of the Egyptian word for Water, "n-t". This same symbol became used for M in Semitic, because their word for water began with that sound.
