A name made up by someone who doesn't understand chemical nomenclature nearly as well as they think they do. Most likely they were trying to come up with a fancy word for "water".
"Hydrogenous" is just silly; beyond the problem of making the root of hydrogen "hydrogen-" rather than the more proper hydr- (cf "hydride"), it implies that hydrogen has at least two common positive oxidation states, of which +1 is the lower. This is, of course, nonsense, since hydrogen has one proton and +1 is therefore the highest (and only) possible positive oxidation state.
It's just barely possible that they thought the existence of hydrogen peroxide (empirical formula: HO) implied that hydrogen might have a +2 oxidation state. This is still wrong, though, it's just wrong in a different way.
