Sneijder is of Dutch origin, derived from the words 'snee' and 'ijder', which mean 'snow' and 'skier' respectively. It was traditionally used as a nickname for someone who enjoyed skiing in the snow. The name has been popularized internationally due to its association with professional footballer Wesley Sneijder.
