Etymology
Spermatogenesis comes from Greek parts sperma meaning 'seed' and -genesis meaning 'origin' or 'creation', and you can see the same idea in the word sperm. So, spermatogenesis literally means 'creation of seeds', which explains why it is the process that makes and matures sperm cells in the testes.
