Why is it called, "Donkey Kong"?

Never considered that. Here's what Wikithingey tells me:

The exact origins of the name "Donkey Kong" are unclear and debated. The most common explanation of the name is that it was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as a combination of the word "Kong" from King Kong (although 'Kong' by that time had already come to colloquially mean monkey), and "Donkey", a word which can mean stubborn. It is believed by many that the name "Donkey Kong" was the result of a typo on the original cabinet's art work for "Monkey Kong", but this has been denied by Miyamoto and others.
Stockhausen!
