Jack,
Well if I were to take a guess I would say that it may have something to do
with the "Hall" effect where a voltage is created on both sides of a conductor
by a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the current.
Incidentally, "M" was already taken, as it defines the magnetization within a
material, whereas "H" defines the magnetic field strength. You can obtain the
magnetic susceptibility (Xm) of a material by using the ratio M/H.

Well, H is really B, but I guess all the M's were taken.
