"The Hind probably gets its name from the NATO reporting name for the famous Mil Mi-24 helicopter gunship/troop transport. Other probable sources of the weapon's name include;
 * A lesser known aircraft, the Hawker Hind, is a pre-WWII British propeller driven bomber.
 * The Golden Hind, Captain Sir Francis Drake's privateer galleon.
 * A lunar crater named Hind."

I choose to believe that it is because it is able to shoot behind you after you mark a target.
