Because lighting fixtures give off light. So during the days of reforming the current English language light slurred into lamp. Finally once people learned them as lamps that's what they were called from there on out.

Why do you connect electrical lamps in series?
If you are referring to house wiring, then you don't normally connect lamps in series with each other; they are normally connected in parallel with each other. When lamps are connected in parallel, each lamp is subjected to the same voltage; providing this is the rated voltage of each lamp, them each will operate at their rated power.If you did connect lamps in parallel, the you would find that the lamps with the higher power ratings will be dimmer than the lamps with the lower power ratings -which is not what you might expect!
