Hi abetusk! The first tool I implemented in the program was the Stipple Pencil, which is a variant of the pencil that only colors over the target pixel when the mouse is pressed down, even if the cursor is dragged over other pixels thereafter. The pun was meant to be on that and the term "ripple effect".

However, if I could go back, I'd probably change the name to something more fitting to what the program actually is.
