Because when you look up in a very dark sky (away from artificial light of towns and cities), you can see a milky smear across the sky. You’re looking towards the centre of the galaxy, where billions and billions of stars just look like a milky light because of the distance and dust.

@AmberStylz I think it was the ancient Greeks that named it, although they didn’t realise that they were looking at our galaxy at the time. It just looks like a very faint stain across the sky.
