In Middle English, "pygg" referred to a type of clay used for making various household objects such as jars. People often saved money in kitchen pots and jars made of pygg, called "pygg jars". By the 18th Century, the spelling of "pygg" had changed and the term "pygg jar" had evolved to "pig bank."[citation needed]

The Indonesian used the term celengan (a celeng is a wild pig - boar, with ending "an" to describe likeliness with pig). The source of this word is somewhat unknown, but a Majapahit piggy bank from the 15 century AD may conclude that this word has been used for several centuries.

This name may have caught on because the pig banks were mostly used by children, and the pig is a child-friendly shape that is easy to fashion out of clay. Once the meaning had transferred from the substance to the shape, piggy banks began to be made from other substances, including glass, plaster, and plastic.

Another reason for the name piggy bank that has been put forward is based upon the idea that the coins given to the piggy bank represent the food fed to a pig by the farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig which he does not get back until the pig is slaughtered for the meat (represented by breaking the piggy bank) which the farmer can then sell.

And so the PIG is shown as the symbol of savings!!!!

It shows as little as pig, it eats to much, and grows very much, so putting the money in piggy grows the money, this is the saying, so it goes on and on, and is considered as symbol of savings for especially the children

A pig is usually seen as greedy therefore related to saving

I think because it's round and fat! And pigs are greedy with big appetites supposedly. So therefore to encourage you to think, I guess, in terms of feeding the hungry pig!
