When Apache first began, it was frequently patched because of its instability at the time. The developers took to calling it "a patch-y" web server, and the name stuck. "A patch-y" became "Apache". There's no sport team mascot mentally to it, it just became the name of the server. If they'd taken to calling it some name that sounded vaguely like "Egyptian", they would have named it that, too.
