The Temporal Lobe is that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying inside the temples of the head. Temporal is used in the sense "of or relating to the temples" (the sides of the skull behind the orbit).

Heh heh because it is there. The temple. All lobes are named for their location.
