The name was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. As soon as Chieco saw a prototype for the player he thought in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase: "Open the pod bay door, Hal!", which is related with the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship. At that time "iPod" was a name that Apple registered for Internet kiosks, but never put to use.

I would guess it stands for Internet pod...as in music you get off of the internet, loaded onto a pod...which is basically just a container for something.
