I heard there was a group of Pirates in Tripoli during the late 1700's called the "Boogy Men" because their base was on the Island of Boog. But because I heard it doesn't mean its so.
Why are most monsters male? Good question.....I don't regard females as less scary then men. But I think it would be more funny than scary to see a Bigfoot with huge hairy breasts flopping towards me. On the other hand, if some huge male monster p*nis was coming as me.......I would probably run like hell.

The bogeyman, also boogeyman, boogyman, or bogyman, is a legendary ghost-like monster that children often believe is real. The bogeyman has no specific appearance. He is sometimes equated with specific real-life persons, such as serial killer Albert Fish. The term bogeyman is also used metaphorically to mean a person or thing of which someone else has an irrational fear.
The most common of childhood fears associated with the bogeyman is that of someone (usually a monster) hiding in one's room (such as behind the door or under the bed). The bogeyman is said to lurk like this and then attack the sleeper.
Sometimes parents will, as a way of controlling their children, encourage belief in a bogeyman that only preys on children who misbehave. Such bogeymen may be said to target a specific transgression — for instance, a bogeyman that persecutes children who suck their thumbs — or just general misbehaviour. Similar educational tactics apply to traditional characters such as Zwarte Piet (an assistant of Saint Nick who whips bad children).
Popular portrayals of Bogeymen include Victor Herbert's 1903 operetta Babes in Toyland, where they lived unsurprisingly in Bogeyland and Raymond Briggs' Fungus the Bogeyman. The latter relies on the children's slang word bogey meaning dried nasal mucus, a substance these particular bogeymen are particularly fond of.

Women are supposed to be the comforting ones. I am not sure about the boogy monster getting his name though.

Because monster gender is not denoted by physical characteristics like us human. (example, a monster may look male, but a single characteristic umm, like a sex organ may denote it to be the opposite, ergo a female)
