It's Wrong!
The mathematician William Jones introduced the symbol π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. In 1706, he published his work 'Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos' where he used π as a shorthand for the constant. This notation gained popularity and is now universally recognized.
