The symbol for pi (π) was first used by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. He chose the symbol to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, deriving it from the Greek word for "perimeter." The symbol gained widespread popularity after mathematician Leonhard Euler adopted it in his work in the mid-18th century.
