The language originated in España, therefore they called the language español.
Translated to english, that's Spain, and Spanish. They match by their root.

Actually, the language spoken in most of Spain is Castillian, or "castellano", because of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Castile, who led the fight against the Moors. After the Moors were finally expelled from Spain after having been there from 711 - 1492, castellano began to be used over other dialects, and is now what we call Spanish, or español.

To avoid a fragmentation, the Real Academia Española has merged the concepts "español" and "castellano", as synonyms when referring to the language.
