M actually stands for molarity, which is defined as moles of a solute per liter of solvent (mol/L). The concentration, in other words.

M can mean several things. It is a rather broad question, and could have several answers. It could mean Molarity as was suggested. I doubt very much if it is moles. moles is usually abbreviated mol. How ever a consideration you might take into account is the possibility of molecular weight. It is the weight required to have Avogadro's number of molecules present in the sample. Roughly 6.022*10^23. And also it may (big may here) be molality. Which is moles over kilograms. The possibility of it being just a variable used in an equation shouldn't be canceled out either.
