Well, Fidel means faithful, and his father, Angel Castro, bequeathed his name to all his children.

Having somewhat religious names, like Jesus, Angel, and Fidel, is rather a common occurrence in Spanish-speaking countries.

Because it’s his name. He originally wanted to use the name Nikita Khrushev but that was being used at the time.
