title: Seaborn - Why import as sns?
body: <p>Why do you always import seaborn as <code>sns</code> and not with the letters of the name as <code>sbn</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Is <code>sns</code> an acronym for something? </p>
  
  <p>Or is it some kind of joke?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>As <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2272172/cel">cel</a> commented, someone put this as an issue <a href="https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn/issues/229" rel="noreferrer">in github</a>.<br>
  There they do not answer the question but say that it is a joke related to the original name of the library.<br>
  I was unsuccessful in trying to find that original name.</p>
