I was just curious if they named the pasta noodle after something, or just came up with the word out of the blue.
And if it does mean something, then what does it mean?

Yes, it means "scratch the back of the one you love"

Fettuccine (literally "little ribbons" in Italian) is a type of pasta. It is a very flat, thick noodle made of egg and flour, similar to tagliatelle.

Italians have names for each type of pasta like farfalle (Butterflies), penne rigate etc. so everybody knows exactly what they talk about.

It could also mean the sauce as in fettuccine Alfredo.

fettucine = fettucini or little ribbons - like most Italian pasta names, it's descriptive of the pasta itself - like "orechiette" means "little ears"
