The phrase 'as mad as a hatter' was well known in Victorian times, as many hatters suffered from Mercury poisoning which caused symptoms resembling 'madness'. The Mad Hatter was named after this saying - but possibly not directly - Martin Gardner points out in his Annotated Alice, that it is generally considered that the Hatter was inspired by "Theophilus Carter, a furniture dealer near Oxford. Carter was known in the area as the Mad Hatter, partly because he always wore a top hat and partly because of his eccentric ideas." (From The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner).
So the Mad Hatter got his name from Theophilus Carter, who in turn, got his nick-name from a well known saying.
