Harry found Hedwig's name in A History of Magic. The book does not tell us who Hedwig (the witch) was, though Hedwig is generally a German name, so she might have been a German witch of some historical significance.
JK Rowling probably choose Hedwig's name based on Saint Hedwig (Duchess of Silesia).
