Passover isn't the actual name of the holiday. The actual name for this holiday is 'Pesach'. The Hebrew word Pesach is a contraction of the words 'peh sach' which means 'the mouth speaks'. The reason for this name is because we are commanded to retell the story of Pesach every year so that we don't forget it.
Passover is an English word that's used because most non-Hebrew speakers can't say the word 'Pesach' properly. Passover refers to HaShem passing over the homes that had lamb's blood painted on their doors in the final plague.
