The name Snowball was chosen as a tribute to the SNOBOL programming language, with which it shares the concept of string patterns delivering signals that are used to control the flow of the program. The creator of Snowball, [[Martin Porter|Dr. Martin Porter]], "toyed with the idea of calling it 'strippergram' ", because it "effectively provides a '[[suffix]] STRIPPER GRAMmar' ".<ref name="Snowball-HomePage" />
 
One of the notable features of Snowball is its collection of stemming algorithms for various languages. These algorithms are widely used in academic research and commercial applications for natural language processing.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Snowball Stemmer – NLP |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/snowball-stemmer-nlp/}}</ref>
