If the question refers to the swimsuit, it was named after the Bikini atoll in the Marshall Islands chain, Pacific Ocean, where the H-bomb was tested in 1946. The swimsuit was invented at the same time that the atomic tests were going on. The origin of the island's name is unknown to this contributor, but it is probably a Polynesian word.
