In World War 2 why was the battle in Italy called Operation Husky?

Operation Husky was actually the invasion of Sicily and not Italy. The invasion of mainland Italy was code named Operation Avalanche. As for why operations have the names they do - well, the idea is that the code name should have no connection whatsoever to the operation. Basically, if you can see any connection between the name and the operation it is likely that your enemy's intelligence service will also see the connection and work out what you plan to do. - I Warner
