The Black Panthers were originally called The Black Panther Defense Party. This group was founded by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and the ideas the people of this party held were deeply influenced by the teachings of Malcom X. While you can only truly find out why Seale and Newton named it that, you can infer that it has something to do with 1.) Their race (They were fighting for equality at that time, after all) 2.) What panthers represent in nature. Basically, panthers are strong, self-assured and proud. Panthers hold a certain calm and at the same time a ferocity.
This party, some say, was meant to symbolize black power. It was meant to uses militant and self-defense principals. Here are some rules that the party must follow (according to the Marxist website). Perhaps this will give you a further look into the meaning of their name: http://www.marxists.org/history/usa/workers/black-panthers/unknown-date/party-rules.htm
