Yes, yes there is :)

Q 1.2: What's up with the name change? Is Wireshark a fork?

A: In May of 2006, Gerald Combs (the original author of Ethereal(r))
went to work for CACE Technologies (best known for WinPcap).
Unfortunately, he had to leave the Ethereal(r) trademarks behind.

This left the project in an awkward position. The only reasonable way
to ensure the continued success of the project was to change the name.
This is how Wireshark was born.

Wireshark is almost (but not quite) a fork. Normally a "fork" of an
open source project results in two names, web sites, development
teams, support infrastructures, etc. This is the case with Wireshark
except for one notable exception -- every member of the core
development team is now working on Wireshark. As far as anyone knows,
there has been no active development on Ethereal since the name
change. Several parts of the Ethereal web site (such as the mailing
lists, source code repository, and build farm) have gone offline.
