A 555 timer basically consists of:
# A voltage divider circuit, # Two comparators, # An SR flip-flop, and # Two (bipolar) transistors: one NPN (discharge) and one PNP (reset),
as can be seen in its block diagram.
The voltage divider consists of three 5Kohm resistors, so that we get (1/3)Vcc and (2/3)Vcc; we use these voltages as references for the comparators.
The three 5K resistors, along with IC's main applications being in timer and multi-vibrator circuits, give it the name 555 timer.
