It's actually named after a person.

That person's name - absurdly enough - was Haskell B. Curry. o_O

They were going to name the language Curry - but they figured the jokes 
would never end. As it is, they failed to realise that Haskell sounds 
just like Pascal (which is also a programming language), and also 
"hassle" and "rascle"...
