What ninth means
The ordinal number matching the position or rank of 9 in a sequence, or a musical interval spanning eight letter names of the scale.
Where the word comes from

Nigon traces back through Proto-Germanic *newun to Proto-Indo-European *h₁néwn̥, the same root behind Latin novem and Greek ennea. The -th suffix marks ordinal numbers (first, second, third) and comes from Proto-Germanic *-dōn.
