Because the game's creator, Alexey Pajitnov, thought 'tetra-tennis' had a nice ring to it!

The game's creator, Alexey Pajitnov, chose 'tetris' by combining the Greek word for four, 'tetra,' and his favorite sport, tennis.

It's called Tetris because 'Tetra' means four, and every Tetrimino is made up of four blocks.
