The name is formed from SN (yes SuperNova), the year of discovery, then followed by a one or two letter designation. SN is optional.
The first 26 of the year get designated with an upper case letter from A to Z. then, pairs of lowercase letters are used, starting with aa, ab.... etcetera Historical supernovae were known simply by the year they occurred: SN185, SN1572 SN1604. Since 1885, the letter notation was used.
