There is no specific reason to use Z as sign of integer. However, in late 1930 or so a Mathematician by name N. Bourbaki made the Z as denotation of integer popular. Afterward as a representation we kept using same symbol.

Same as collection all Natural number, Whole number, Real number are shown by N, W and R respectively, in standard form, similarly collection of all Integers are shown by Z only not by I. But in general if you want to assume an integer in a question then you can take any letter as an integer.

Bourbaki was a group of mostly French mathematicians which began meeting in the 1930s, aiming to write a thorough unified account of all mathematics.) The letters stand for the German Quotient and Zahlen. These notations occur in Bourbaki's Algébre, Chapter 1. Zahlen is a German word for number. read less
