The city is named after the Moskva river. The origin of the name is unknown.
Moscow is simply the translation into English from Russian. The actual word in Russian is Москва, (Moskva). It is the name of the current capitol and largest city, and also the Область (Oblast') where the capitol is situated. An Область (Oblast') is an administrative section, similar to a State, or Commonwealth in the USA. The name comes from the Moscow river, on which the city is situated. Some theorize that the actual word Moscow (Москва) generated from the old finnish language in the 1100's, but this has yet to be proven.
