Why emacs movement key is choosen as the way it is?

Why emacs movement key is choosen as the way it is?

My question is simple. As a new comer I find it confusing to use emacs movement keys.
So I am curious to know why emacs have chosen its movement key such a way?
Up → C-p
Down → C-n
Left → C-f
Right → C-b
It could have been keys from single line. However the question is, why it is chosen this way?
