Theoretical physicist John Wheeler, who revived interest in general relativity, gets a lot of credit for coining the phrase in a lecture in 1967. However, the first known use in print was in an article by journalist Ann Ewing in 1964 titled "Black Holes in Space." Other names to describe them previously were frozen stars, or dark stars.
The property of black holes which makes the name particularly fitting is the fact that the intense gravity causes escape velocity to exceed the speed of light; hence, no light could escape from it, making it notionally "black."
