I have heard that it got its name from its shape.

Hard candy used to be a solid circular shape but, if accidentally swallowed, a person could choke and stop breathing because the candy would lodge in the throat and block the airway.

So Lifesaver decided to put a small hole in the center (like a life preserver) to allow the passage of air, if ever swallowed.
