Best Answer

flip-flop means reverse or changing course of action.

If the working of flip-flops is observed meticulously, we find that they invert for one particular kind of inputs while they remain same for another combination of inputs.While performing experiments.It appears as if the flip-flops are continuously changing their output with respect to the previous output and present inputs.Thus the name flip-flops

the actual reason is that when early trigger circuits(which is what they were called originally) were connected to a speaker, as a simple monitor for activity, and clocked slowly the sound the speaker made was "flip, flop, flip, flop, flip, flop, flip, flop,...". This sound is quite distinct even with modern flip flops, even though their edge rise and fall times are many orders of magnitude faster than early ones.
