In traditional "wired" data communications, the industry standard in protocol analyzers for years was a product called a "sniffer." My guess is the company that developed this similar technology for wireless deliberately sought an acronym that was a play on the original. Just a guess.

It refers to the sound you make when you snort. Onomatopoeia...
