Pikachu was named what he is because of two things. First, for the Pika part, the creators thought that it sounded like the sound a mouse makes. Second, for the chu part, they thought electrical sparks made that sound.

Pikachu's name is broken into two parts. Pika is a small mammal that has a resemblance of a mouse; it lives in the colder parts of North America, Asia, and parts of Eastern Europe, while Chu is the Japanese word for "squeak". This would make sense, being they both resemble a mouse.
