Richard will be along soon to point out that "DB9" is incorrect - a very common mistake, but none the less a mistake!

The 'B' indicates the size of the shell as used in the orignal 25-way standard connector for RS232; also for the parallel printer port on PCs.

The correct letter for the shell size used for the 9-pin connector is 'E' - so the correct name is "DE9"

The same shell size is used by the high-density 15-pin VGA connector - so that can be called a "DE15"
