Some co-workers were musing about the origin of the name "Pungi" today, and this would be a great thing to document!
This is a great question. I don't really know.
This is the logo that was used on fedorahosted. (Not used on Pagure yet due to issue 970).

One theory I gathered so far is this: since pungi is the instrument played by snake charmers, it could have some relationship to Anaconda.
Maybe @ausil knows something?
I honestly am not 100% sure, I probably knew it at some point. maybe @jkeating can shed some light. likely @lsedlar is correct and its tied to keeping anaconda inline :)
The name Pungi does indeed come from the instrument used to charm snakes. Anaconda being the software Pungi was manipulating, and anaconda being a snake, presumably because it's written in Python, led to the referential naming.
The first name, which was suggested by Seth Vidal, was FIST, Fedora Installation <Something> Tool. That name was quickly discarded and replaced with Pungi.
There was also a bit of an inside joke that when said aloud, it could sound like punji, which is a sharpened stick at the bottom of a trap. Kind of like software... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punji_stick
