The original name is supposed to have been "humble bees" so it would appear to have been a derivation or abstraction of that.
As most Harry Potter fans will know an early name for these bees was Dumbledore, so the "umble" part of the name seems to have been a consistent feature.
I'm afraid that's all I can offer in way of explanation.
