Tom Cruise...all of his Scientology friends went back in time and gave the rain gauge its name. Then however it was called a warot quaex, which translates roughly from ancient summarian to mean "level water".

Or it could be because its a GAUGE that measures RAIN...but i don't know which one is more logical to be honest with you.
