I must confess that I am not entirely sure but I know that the reason people sneeze is to clear possibly harmful obstructions, which the body is trying to defend against, from the nasal passages. This is why sneezes can be a bit messy if you aren't ready with a kleenex.

Why is a sneeze called a sneeze?

Because when you sneeze the sound you make is "SNEEZE!" ^No, it really isn't. I've not heard one person say "SNEEZE" when they sneeze, ever in my life. I've heard people say "Achoo", "Atishoo" and other ones, but never "SNEEZE".


Why do some body sneeze then make you sneeze?

Unlike yawns, just seeing someone sneezing won't make you need to. Sneezes aren't contagious like that. If you sneeze right after someone else, it's likely do to a lot of dust or other particles in the air irritating both your noses, or you could both be allergic to something in the area.
