The name Methodist was used as a term of ridicule to describe the 'methodical' actions of John Wesley and others in terms of their religious devotions while students. These, among other things involved regular times for prayer, Bible study and Christian fellowship, which were considered out of the ordinary in his day.
It later came to be applied to the religious denomination started by Wesley, although he of course did not intend to start it but rather sought to remain in the Church of England.
