The name or the book?

According to tradition, the book of Joel prophesied a vast swarm of locusts and called upon the Israelites to repent. The locusts overran the land as predicted. Others have commented that the four kinds of locusts to which he refers hint to the four kingdoms (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome) to whose rule the Israelites would be subjected.
