The Black Death was so named because of the black color of the lymph nodes because they filled with clotted blood. The disease was also incredibly fatal and highly contagious, so death was likely if someone contracted the disease. It can be treated with antibiotics now.

I'm fairly certain Bubonic Plague is nicknamed the "black death" due to it resulting in the lymph nodes swelling and turning black.
