From Wikipedia:
The origin of the bell's nickname is open to question; it may be named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or boxing heavyweight champion Benjamin Caunt.

I don't know what question I just answered, but I'm pretty sure that's the answer to at least one question that exists.
