Default origin of 86

I heard various theories behind the origin of 86. Does anyone have an actual proven statement with sources?

I recently ran across this question somewhere else also. It seems that no one has a definitive answer to where it came from. There are a couple of theories (all brought up in previous posts), but no one can say which theory is right.
