C1- c8
Spinal nerves are numbered according to the region of the spine from which they emerge. There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves: 8 cervical (C1-C8), 12 thoracic (T1-T12), 5 lumbar (L1-L5), 5 sacral (S1-S5), and 1 coccygeal (Co1). Cervical nerves are numbered based on the vertebrae below which they exit, while thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerves correspond to the vertebrae above which they emerge. This numbering system helps to identify the specific nerve and its associated functions in the body.

They are numbered by the level on spinal cord: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal.

Cervical Plexis
There are 7 cervical vertebrae and 8 cervical spinal nerves. This explains why you have 31 spinal nerves relative to the 30 vertebral bones.
The cervical region of the vertebral column has one more pair of nerves than vertebrae. There are seven cervical vertebrae (C1 to C7) but eight pairs of cervical nerves (C1 to C8). This occurs because the first pair of cervical nerves exits above the first cervical vertebra, while the remaining pairs exit below their corresponding vertebrae.
The cervical spinal nerves form the cervical plexus, the brachial spinal nerves form the brachial plexus, the lumbar and sacral spinal nerves form the lumbosacral plexus, and the sacral spinal nerves form the sacral plexus.

C1-8. These nerves enter from the eight cervical or neck vertebrae.
