"pH of a liquid" means "the negative of the logarithm to the base 10 of the activity of electrically mobile positive hydrogen ions in the liquid." For most purposes, the "activity" is close to the molar concentration, but in very concentrated acids, a correction factor for the molar concentration called the "activity coefficient" is needed to account for the fact that the average effect of a single mobile positive hydrogen ion is not quite as strong in a very concentrated liquid (an analogy to the economic "law of diminishing returns"). In aqueous solutions, the mobile positive hydrogen ions are generally written in chemical equations as "H+ (aq)" or "H3O+".

'pH' stands for 'power of hydrogen' (or hydronium) & it was discovered by Sorensen. For more details check:

What is full form of pH?

IT MEANS "POTENTIAL OF HYDROGEN" OR " POWER OF HYDEROGEN" pH is actual the ratio of Hydronium ions (H3O) to Hydroxide ions (OH). A pH neutral liquid has a pH of 7, while the strongest acids have a number closer to 1 and the strongest bases (like household bleach) have a pH number closer to 14.
