It refers to a kind of wave, as well as a change in people’s views or behaviour (usually viewed positively). “Grounds” also has a relevant meaning as in “grounds to believe”, without being a blatantly distasteful pun.
I don’t mean to pick only on this proposed name, but it sounds like most commenters are seeing the naming ideas from the perspective of insiders, or from the perspective irrationally in love with their proposal.
There are probably dozens of names like Groundswell and Waterline that have clever connotations. Given humans’ propensity to over-associate, this is hardly surprising. I do see a distinction, though, between the two: Waterline has a more immediate / clearer physical image, which is definitely a plus.
