So why is it called 'variable'?

OK.
I have a list of people in a XML format:
<LIST_PEOPLE>
<PEOPLE>
<FIRST_NAME>Emmanuel</FIRST_NAME>
<NAME>Leguy</NAME>

<FIRST_NAME>Sam</FIRST_NAME>
<NAME>Kememer</NAME>
</PEOPLE>
<PEOPLE>
<FIRST_NAME>Gilles</FIRST_NAME>
<NAME>Presley</NAME>
</PEOPLE>
<PEOPLE>
<FIRST_NAME>Marie-Pierre</FIRST_NAME>
<NAME>Smith</NAME>
</PEOPLE>
<PEOPLE>
<FIRST_NAME>Eve</FIRST_NAME>
<NAME>Ramone</NAME>
</PEOPLE>
<PEOPLE>
<FIRST_NAME>Florence</FIRST_NAME>

<CENTER>- A -</CENTER><BR>
Gweltaz Ar Fur<BR>

<CENTER>- U -</CENTER><BR>nobody<BR>
<CENTER>- V -</CENTER><BR>nobody<BR>
<CENTER>- W -</CENTER><BR>nobody<BR>
<CENTER>- X -</CENTER><BR>nobody<BR>
<CENTER>- Y -</CENTER><BR>nobody<BR>
<CENTER>- Z -</CENTER><BR>nobody<BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
To do this i use this algorithm:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
indent-result="yes">
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>People list</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- declaration of curentChar -->
<xsl:for-each select="LIST_PEOPLE/PEOPLE">
<xsl:sort select="NAME"/>
<xsl:sort select="FIRST_NAME"/>
<xsl:variable name="firsChar">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(NAME,1,1)"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="not(string(curentChar)=string(firstChar))">
<CENTER>- <xsl:value-of select="$firstChar"/> -</CENTER><BR/>
<!-- put the firstChar value into curentChar -->
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="FIRST_NAME"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="NAME"/>
<BR/>
</xsl:for-each>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
