So I can find it again ("it" being a tidbit that doesn't really have a place to be recorded):

s.n. = "the abbreviation for "sub nomine", which means "under the name" and refers to the name heading under which a citation appears in something like Withycombe, Reaney, Lind or some alphabetically arranged reference.

You will also see s.v. which stands for "sub verbo" literally "under the word" which is used to indicate the head word in a dictionary, English or otherwise."

Thanks, Alisoun!
