Spam was originally marketed as "Hormel Spiced Ham" because it was produced by the Hormel Foods Corporation and was made from a mixture of ham and other pork parts, seasoned with various spices. The name "Spam" is a portmanteau of "spiced" and "ham," but it also became a recognizable brand on its own. The product was introduced in 1937 and gained popularity during World War II due to its long shelf life and convenience. Over time, "Spam" became synonymous with the canned meat product itself.

How did spam get its name?
The Legend of Spam: Back in 1937, the Hormel Foods company invented a canned, spiced ham that became super popular back during WWII due to the scarcity of fresh meats. In the 1960s the British TV show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" had a regular skit about a restaurant that served spam with everything, spam burgers, spam omelets, spam mashed potatoes, spam apple pie, spam spam, etc. In the skit there was a table of customers that would sing "Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, beautiful spam, wonderful spam!" until someone would make them shut up. At some point the term made the cultural jump to describe junk e-mail that repeats itself everywhere, and because of its repetitive, annoying nature. Additional Information: Introduced in 1937, the original name was Hormel Spiced Ham. Later the name of SPAM was derived from SP (from spiced) and AM (from ham). In humorous circles it was called Something Posing As Meat - or Spare Parts Animal Meat
Where does the word Spam come from?
I think it's a contraction of "spiced ham" or "spiced pork and ham". This was is a tinned meat product made famous during WW2 by the Americans in Europe. Food was rationed and it was welcomed at the time. When war ended more food became available and Spam got a reputation as being for poor people. Hence the term for unwanted messages and adverts. Spam was popular in the US as well. During rationing in the US, you were only allowed so much meat in a week. You were allowed far more canned goods in your rations. Spam counted as a canned good but was meat. So you could still get meat if you liked Spam. The source is my mother who was a teenager in WW II. I've heard the story other places so it seems reliable. I think its reputation was low because nobody really understood what was in it but that's more conjecture.
