I added the link to the latin iota in my previous message, but it seems to be the greek iota indeed. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iota:

In some programming languages (e.g., A+, APL, C++, Go), iota (either as the lowercase symbol or the identifier iota) is used to represent and generate an array of consecutive integers. For example, in APL ⍳4 gives 1 2 3 4.

You don't find it descriptive because (I believe) it was not meant to be descriptive but consice...
