Eggs in the ancient world were dyed different colors, but they weren't called Easter eggs. They were used in spring festivals.

The English name of Easter is newer. When early English Christians wanted others to accept Christianity they decided to use the name Easter for this holiday so that it would natch the name of the old spring festival.

They decided that Easter should fall on Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
