Because at that time, the 1830s, it was just discovered that the Chinese had been making fireworks. They had been making fireworks for a long time, but the news had just reached the U.S. and it was a current news item. Something people were talking about. Otherwise, the loco may have been titled the Lightening, or Racer, but the Rocket was a name influenced by the current news trend of the day.
