Before being named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, HST was known during development as the Large Orbiting Telescope, or Large Space Telescope.
This is not uncommon for NASA; the current successor to HST, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), was originally named NGST - Next Generation Space Telescope, a nod to Star Trek.
