All the Apollo missions were numbered chronologically. Apollo 13 was the 13th planned manned mission in the Apollo program. However, in reality based on which missions actually flew it should have been Apollo 7.

The mission was originally meant to be the third lunar landing in the Apollo program, and so it was designated as Apollo 13. The number 13 was not considered unlucky at the time, and the mission was named in sequence with the previous Apollo missions.
