Robert Hooke called them 'cells' because they reminded him of the small rooms of monks (cells).

Robert Hooke observed honey-comb like network of cellulae (latin for little storage rooms) in 1965. http://www.smithlifescience.com/CellTheory.htm
Robert Hooke named the little boxes he saw under his microscope "cells" in 1665 when he observed them in a slice of cork. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of cell biology.
Robert Little - minister - was born in 1762.

Robert Hooke in 1665 observed slices of cork under a simple magnifying device.Cork is a part of the bark of a tree.He took thin slices of cork and observed it under a microscope.He noticed partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb.He also noticed that one box was separated from the other by a wall or partition.Hooke coined the term 'cell' for each box.What Hooke as boxes or cells in the cork were actually dead cells. Cells of living organisms could be observed only after the discovery of improved microscopes.Very little was known about the cell for the next 150 years after Robert Hooke's observations. Today,we know a lot about cell structure and functions because of improved microscopes having higher magnification
No , Robert Conrad was never part of the Little Rascals . (Robert Blake was though .)
Robert Hooke called cells "little boxes" in the 1600's
Robert Hooke observed a pice of cork in the early1600's Robert Hooke observed a pieceof cork in the early1600's that had would he discribed to be little things crawling on it. Later he came up with a name cells there you go
Robert A. Little died on 1918-05-27.
Robert Hooke, an English scientist, discovered the existence of cells in cork under a microscope in 1665. He observed and described the cellular structure as resembling small, empty boxes, which he called "cells." This was an important contribution to the field of biology and the development of the cell theory.
