It is called a snare drum because it has wires going across the center of the drum, underneath, when the drum is struck, it uses the metal wires to create a "sizzle" or "rattle" sound. This gives it the distinct sound that a snare drum has. And some people will just call a snare drum a snare for short.
Have the snare drum and drumsticks on then dance!

That depends on the brand, type of snare, and condition the drum is in. I've seen Pearl marching snares cost as much as $500 new, but regular concert snares may only sell for $200 new.

The snare drum is guessed to have descended from a medieval drum called the Tabor, which was a drum with a single gut snare strung across the bottom.
The snare drum dates back to the Middle Ages, roughly 1300 A.D. While there is no definitively known creator of the instrument, it is believed to have been used in Europe during this time. In its original stages, it was a two-sided drum with a single snare.
I personally have a 14" Pearl Philharmonic Snare drum and I love it. It isn't as expensive as some of the other competing brands, and, if tuned correctly, it can sound just as good as any "higher-end" snare drum. Black Swamp is making beautiful snare drums right now, but they are pretty pricey. I believe 75% of the quality of a snare drum lies in the tuning of the drum. If you spend a decent amount of time tuning your snare, you can make lower cost drums sound just as good as expensive models. In general, however, if price is not the issue and you are looking for a quality orchestral snare, I would buy a 14" Black Swamp Snare Drum with a Di-Cast rim and a Sterns Calf Skin head!
The snare rattle in a drum kit is caused by the vibration of the snare wires when other drums are played. To minimize or eliminate it, you can adjust the tension of the snare wires, use a snare drum with a different design, or use accessories like a snare drum dampener.
