Because the Somme is a river, situated in northern France. And why was the Western Front of WW 1 mostly situated in northern France? Because the Germans had hoped to invade through northern France (thereby avoiding the bulk of the French troops, who were situated in eastern France) and then push on to Paris and western France. But the Germans were fought to a standstill in northern France (that was the Battle of the Somme) and they never managed to break through for the rest of the war.
