With shoes in mind:

Flip Flops are known as Flip Flops simply because when you walk you flip and flop your feet + it sounds EXTRA cool... .

With Digital Electronics in mind:

Flips Flops are known to be Bistable, meaning it can be stable in either one of two states, as shown below:

"0 or 1"

But the state of a Flip Flop doesn't remain constant the whole time, it continually "flips" from one state to the other, which serves as the very reason why they are called Flip Flops.
