Look in Wikipedia:

The name Titan, and the names of all seven satellites of Saturn then known, come from John Herschel (son of William Herschel, discoverer of Mimas and Enceladus) in his 1847 publication Results of Astronomical Observations Made at the Cape of Good Hope.[15] He suggested the names of the mythological Titans, sisters and brothers of Cronos, the Greek Saturn.

It gets its name from Greek mythology, from the Titans.
