How did black holes in outer space get their name?

Since nothing, not even light, can escape black holes, they are invisible (so to speak). You can only see a black hole when it is sucking up light, since the object with light looks like something is pulling it away.Actually, there isn't much imagination in this. Black holes are named as such because they are, basically, holes in the universe which emit no light.
