The name comes from Sagat, the Muay Thai master in Street Fighter, who has several 'Tiger' moves. His knee strike while yelling 'Tiger' just stuck with fans.

Sagat's Tiger Knee is iconic in Street Fighter lore because he yells 'Tiger!' as he knees his opponents in the face. Can't get more straightforward than that!
