Well... Ms. Rowling insists that she made the name up...

HOWEVER! In French Vol de mort means Flight of Death. And He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named does flee from death (metaphorically speaking of course, he does this with his Horcruxes)

Another interesting tidbit: The Dark Lord's name is supposed to be pronounced 'Voldemor' you know, with a silent 't' however it never is. Even in the movies it's said with a hard 't'!
