I'm not sure the the number is the "distance" from the original layer in the layer control, but more a count. The first thematic layer you create from a layer is called layer1, the next layer2 etc. If you then close layer2, the next will be named layer2 again.

I need to know the original layer name from which "xxx" thematic layer was created. Any help is appreciated.
