Pig Latin got its name because it involves altering words in a way that makes them difficult to understand for those unfamiliar with the technique. This secretive language was often used to communicate in private among children. It is thought that the term "Pig Latin" originated from the idea that the altered words sound like gibberish or something unintelligible, similar to the perception of how pigs communicate.
