Neon is a noble gas, one of six, in fact. Neon reacts to electricity by off-putting a glowing color. Note that it is not a good conductor of electricity, but puts of glowing colors.

(As a side note: Most 'neon' signs you see are really just lighted and colored plastic tubes. True neon signs require exponential amounts of electricity.)

Why neon was given this name?

When discovered, it's properties in an electrical field were unique to anything discovered up to that time. So it was named "Neon", a "New" type of gas. Since then, we have discovered that a variety of gases have vivid color effects in an electrical field (which is why there are different colors of "neon" lights).
