I don’t know it’s proper name but “list” is an easy way to remember it. Want to see a list of what’s in a folder? ls.

The name inherited from Multics and is short for “list”.

ls or l is also often used as an option/switch that is passed to another program to list something. Want to list all active Screen sessions? screen -ls. Want to list all mounted filesystems? mount -l
