In Six Sigma, "sigma" is actually a statistical measure of standard deviation. It represents how far a process is from perfect. Six Sigma seeks to have minimal defects and variations while achieving near-perfect quality with a mere 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

its a statistical term for standard diviation.

in normal distribution if there are six standard deviations between the process mean and the nearest specification limit, then there is a 99.99966% probability that no items will fail to meet specifications .

In six sigma 1.5 sigma correction is considered to allow the natural variation present in any process. So when we say that process is sis sigma , it is nactually 4.5 sigma.
