Etymology
Forge Splattershot Pro is a combination of Splatter (as well as Splat), Shot and the shortened form of Professional. It has the Forge brand name as a prefix to differentiate it from the Splattershot Pro. It also denotes that the weapon is a collaboration with Forge.

Its Japanese name, プライムシューターコラボ puraimu shūtā korabo, means "Prime Shooter Collab". The abbreviated suffix Collab denotes it is a collaboration. However, unlike the English name, it doesn't specify the brand Forge.
