It was named after a line in a poem called "a Dream Deferred" that basically questioned how a dream dies using many similes; one of which included, "Does it dry up, like a raisin in the sun?" This simile is used to show that a person with almost no hope (the Raisin), to eventually end up losing the only thing believed in (the sun).
