They called it "static" because "it doesn't go anywhere". In order to createstatic electricity, you have to rub two different materials. When you rub them, the electrons move.

a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.
Its because the charge does not move - it is stationary -> static. So it was given a name which is very descriptive: static electricity.
