There's 960 of them. Hence, the name.

Slight nuance: the 960 figure includes the regular starting position, and there's some variation in different tournaments about what would happen if the classical starting position were selected. So, at least in some tournaments, it's actually Chess959. But I guess that has less of a ring to it.
