It's called the funny bone because the medical name for it is the Humerus (humourous,get it)

biologically you don't have a funny bone. you have a funny nerve. there is a nerve that goes right under the elbow. you can hit the bone as hard as you want but nothing will happen but hit the nerve and you'll feel it going numb.

The "funny bone" got its nickname because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it.

The actual name for what we call the "funny-bone", is the humerous. If something is humerous it is funny.
