It got its name from its creator, a guy named the Lord Stanley of Preston, who was governor of Canada at the time. He bought a decorative punch bowl (Yes, a punch bowl) and made it the trophy. He had the words "Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup" engraved on one side of the outside rim, and "From Stanley of Preston" on the other side.
