It was called a pianoforte earlier. "Piano" means "soft" and "forte" means "loud." Unlike the harpsichord--which always plays the same volume, and the organ--which requires pulling out or pushing in stops to change, the piano plays loud or soft depending on how you strike the key.
The Pianoforte has now been shortened to 'Piano' as it is simpler and generally a more convenient name!

Why is Piano called the piano fortes?
When the piano was first created, it was called the "piano forte," which means, "soft loud." It was called this because it was essentially the first instrument of the time that could play both loudly and softly. Later, the name was shortened to "piano." Also because the original name for the piano was clavicembalo [or gravicembalo] col piano e forte (literally harpsichord capable of playing at the normal level, or more strongly). (italian)
