The significance of Pi's name in "Life of Pi" is twofold. Firstly, it is derived from the mathematical constant pi (π), symbolizing an infinite, irrational number reflecting Pi's own vast and complex nature. Secondly, the nickname Pi is a shortened version of Piscine, the main character's original name. This dual meaning represents Pi's ability to contain seemingly contradictory elements within himself, such as faith and reason.
Pi's classmates bullied him by mocking his name, calling him "Pissing." This nickname was a cruel taunt that Pi had to endure as a young boy.
