It's from the Persian word for chariot, which is what the piece was in Persia where the game was more-or-less standardized. That's also why we say "checkmate", which comes from the Persian for "the king is defeated" (probably preserved because "shah" was borrowed early into Arabic, and the Persian word for "defeated" sounds like the Arabic word for "dead".

This could be a reason. A foreign word that sounds similar gets mistranslated.
