It's a prefix of the IC products of 'Linear Monolithic' category of National semiconductors.
The 555 IC timer does not have a clock.
555 is an arbitrarily assigned part number for a general purpose programmable timer IC. The number itself has no special meaning.
556 is a dual version of 555 single timer.
The 555 is a timer, not a counter.
