In an early interview with Billy Corgan, he admitted that he had thought of the name for the song before he had written it, had labeled dozens of tapes with its name, and even considered naming the band "Siva" instead of "Smashing Pumpkins". Corgan has said the riff was conceived on an Ovation acoustic guitar while working at a record store in Chicago. He considered it the band's first true rock song that defined their sound and captured their live energy. Lyrically, he considered "Siva" as one of the first songs that served as a personal manifesto. | In an early interview with Billy Corgan, he admitted that he had thought of the name for the song before he had written it, had labeled dozens of tapes with its name, and even considered naming the band "Siva" instead of "Smashing Pumpkins".

Corgan originally titled the song "Shiva" from Asian/Indian folklore, and came up with the name long before it was written. He even considered naming the band Siva instead of Smashing Pumpkins. A book spelled it "Siva" which he settled on, but the band still pronounces it "Shiva" | Corgan originally titled the song "Shiva" from Asian/Indian folklore, and came up with the name long before it was written.
