There are many explanations offered for the origin of the name chickenpox:

Samuel Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Johnson) suggested that the disease was "no very great danger", thus a "chicken" version of the pox;
the specks that appear looked as though the skin was pecked by chickens;
the disease was named after chick peas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickpea), from a supposed similarity in size of the seed to the lesions;
the term reflects a corruption of the Old English word giccin, which meant itching. As "pox" also means curse, in medieval times some believed it was a plague brought on to curse children by the use of black magic."
