David Berkowits born Richard David Falco was called the .44 cal killer since he would use a .44 special caliber revolver to kill his victims. In a letter he self proclaimed being the son of sam. So the name was one he chose for himself. Sam was the owner of the dog that spoke to him.

Berkowitz claims he got the name from his neighbor's dog. But serial killers are notorious liars so take it with the grain of salt.
