She named it that because it was a combo of Esme, Edward's mom, and her own mother's name Renee. Resulting in Renesmee.

Additional information from source [1]:

"Her name is Renesmee. Like Renée and Esme put together." ― Bella Cullen

Her full name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen.

Renesmee's name derives from an amalgamation of the names of Bella's mother, Renée, and her mother-in-law, Esme.

Her middle name, Carlie, is a portmanteau of Bella's father-in-law, Carlisle, and Charlie, Bella's biological father.

Jacob Black gives her the nickname "Nessie" because he says her full name is a "mouthful," and due to the fact that he believes she is a monster for almost killing Bella. At first, Bella refuses to use this nickname because of the obvious allusion to the Loch-Ness Monster, but eventually warms to this name along with everyone else by the end of the story. This nickname, in addition to Jacob's imprinting upon Renesmee, made newborn Bella furious enough to attempt to attack Jacob, lunging for his throat. Luckily for Jacob, and to Renesmee's relief (as she later tells Bella), Seth Clearwater, Jacob's friend and right hand wolf, jumped in the way, breaking his shoulder and collar bone in the process (which Bella quickly apologizes for after calming down).
