The fundamental = 1st harmonic is not an overtone!
Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic.
2nd harmonic = 1st overtone.
3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone.
4th harmonic = 3rd overtone.
5th harmonic = 4th overtone.
6th harmonic = 5th overtone.

Harmonics are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. They are produced when the vibrating object naturally resonates at frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency. The presence of harmonics gives a sound its unique timbre or color.
Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency because they are integer multiples of the base frequency. This occurs because when a sound wave vibrates at a fundamental frequency, it also vibrates at higher frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency due to the physics of wave propagation. The presence of harmonics gives each sound its unique timbre or tone quality.
They're called "harmonics".
The harmonics of a sound or vibration have higher frequencies than the fundamental frequency. Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency that combine to create the overall sound or waveform.
Harmonics.
A series of frequencies that includes the fundamental frequency and integral multiples of it is called the harmonic series. These harmonics are produced when a wave is broken down into its constituent frequencies, with the fundamental frequency being the lowest and the higher harmonics being integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
