'Ping' stands for Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper and is a packet (small message) sent to test the validity / availability of an IP address on a network. The technical term for 'ping' is the Internet Control Message Protocol. Maliciously sending large volumes of 'Pings' to cause difficulties for anyone else attempting to access that address is known as Smurfing .
