miosis division is called reduction division because it reduces the number of chromosome from 46 chromosome.

Meiosis is called reduction division because the chromosomes number is halved in gametes(sex cells) ,so that on fertilisation, normal number (2n) is restored.

Meiosis is called reduction division because it reduces the number of chromosomes from diploid to haploid i.e it gets reduced from 2N to 1N (46 to 23) so as to maintain the species-specific number 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) from generation to generation.
