It is simply a Model Number. Most aircraft manufacturers identify their aircraft by a model or design. Sometimes a design change may be a slight change in the Model Number or a suffic letter or dash number. For example, Bell Helicopter produced the Model 206. This lead to an upgrade called the Model 206B and the stretched version called the Model 206L. The Cessna 172 started life as a tricycle landing gear variant of the tail-dragger Cessna Model 170, with a basic level of standard equipment. The first flight of the prototype was in November 1955. The 172 became an overnight sales success and over 1,400 were built in 1956, its first full year of production. The Cessna 172 is the most successful mass produced light aircraft in history.
