The 'q' refers to the long arm of the chromosome.
A prototypical condensed chromosome has two arms: a short arm and a long arm. The 'p' stands for the French word 'petit' (which means small). The 'q' doesn't stand for anything in particular, but because 'q' comes after 'p' in the alphabet, it is used to refer to the long arm of the chromosome.

The 24 in chromosome 8q24 denotes the specific location of a gene on chromosome 8. Chromosomes are numbered from 1 to 22 based on size, with 23 being the sex chromosomes. The q indicates the long arm of the chromosome, and the 24 specifies the banding pattern within that region.
What are P and Q arms of a chromosome?
The p arm is the shorter arm of the chromosome. The q arm is the longer arm. For chromosomes which are metacentric, the arms tend to be the same length. For submetacentric, acrocentric, or telocentric, the p and q arms show clear differences in length- and thus are classified accordingly.
What does deletion chromosome consists of?

Is chromosome Y an acrocentric chromosome?
A chromosome is determined to be metacentric, acrocentric or telocentric by the location of its centromere. Centromeres are the point of attachment of two sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are formed during DNA replication prior to mitosis or meiosis. Chromosome Y by itself (when it is not replicating and there are no sister chromatids) is not acrocentric, as it wouldn't even have a centromere location.
