Sign or name sign?

I am trying to figure out if something is a sign or someone's name sign..

It is like energy (which is an arc on the upper arm with an E hand)-- but instead of an E hand it is the letter M on the upper arm. Does this sign mean anything?

Initialization is the process of using the ASL finger spelled letter that represents the first letter of an English word as the hand shape for a sign.

For instance, If you were to use "Class" and "Family" in the same area of using a loop with your hand, You'd use "C" for Class with the loop on your and and the "F" for Family in the same loop sign.
