It got its name from greek mythology when Apollo met marsyas and challenged him to a contest of who could play music better. They were equal so Apollo said whoever can play there instrument better upside down and sing would win . marsyas played the Flute so he couldn't play and sing. Apollo won and nailed Marsyas to a tree and the blood that flowed out of him made the marsyas river.
