People just call them something, and other people just go with the name. It's like a trend.
More so in some languages than in others, the original names for many things are based upon their nature; the sounds they make, or details that are reminiscent of some other thing for which there is an existing name. The name for rain in many languages sound similar to the sound rain makes, for instance.
It is quite common in English for things to be named after their inventors or discoverers (particularly in science), for place names to reflect the geographical location (geology, presence of rivers/falls, trees, etc.), and for people to be named for some distant ancestor's vocation/employment (Smith, Baker, Cook, etc.).
