The 'A' sizes are very convenient as each one, going larger, is twice the size of the previous size. For example A4 is twice the size of A5. It is metric inspired as A0 is one square metre. The old fashioned inch sizes had lovely names but little size relationship. There was Crown which was 15 inches by twenty inches and Double Crown which was twice that and I can remember buying drawing cartridge as Half Imperial. The writing papers were in sizes called Duke and Duchess and many others. And books had their own paper sizes like Octavo. Not all gone by the way - you can buy many of these sizes today.

The most common series of paper sizes is the A range and A$ is the most popular however there is also a B range and a C range which is used for some applications
A4 210 × 297 B4 250 × 353 C4 229 × 324
here is the comparison for the nearest sizes to A4. I believe the C range is for envelopes
