Really there isn't a connection to the physical planet Jupiter. However, the almost identical Zeus to the Romans was named Jupiter. So no connection (at least on the greek end) to the physical planet.

Was Jupiter named after Zeus?

No, Jupiter is the Roman god and Zeus is the Greek version. The planet Jupiter is named Jupiter (Zeus) because Jupiter's strong magnetic field traps particles from the sun. The god Jupiter is said to be surrounded by very powerful radiation belts which would kill anyone who tried to enter them. It is also named after Zeus because Jupiter is the biggest planet.
