Why is it called "permafrost" when it melts?

The surface melts up to some depth but then winter comes again and it freezes again. Basically summer is too short and not hot enough to fully melt the ice from previous winter, a layer stays frozen all the time and then trees cant get roots in there.

perma from latin pærma:parma, parmisan
frost from frosty the snowman
then is a snowman made of parmisan cheese that lives in the cold northern zones of the planet to not melt, and once per year it travels the world stealing sperm from the kids that haven't behaved well.
