Is because the child was still born even though it didn't live
or
because the child is still when it is born.
Can anyone enlighten me on this word.

I am unsure where it originated from but it literally means to be born still (ie not moving).

The expected result of pregnancy is the birth of a living child. Some pregnancies do not result in a live birth. If a pregnancy ends without a live birth because of natural causes, this is called stillbirth, pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion.

I think it was coined after "Born Still"
