The plague is called the black death because it is a bacterial hemorrhagic fever. Hemorrhagic fevers cause blood vessels to leak, producing massive hemorrhages under the skin (and inside internal organs also). As the blood from these hemorrhages clots it turns dark, causing the skin to appear black. Thus people that have died of plague generally their bodies have become black: therefor black death.
