It's also an incredibly descriptive and literal name - the observatory is a cubic kilometer of photosensitive detectors frozen in ice at the south pole. When a neutrino interacts with the ice, it produces cherenkov radiation, which can be detected and sent up the chain to a server to classify what was actually detected.
