The name catamorphism appears to have been chosen by Lambert Meertens [1].
The category theoretic machinery behind these was resolved by Grant Malcolm
[2][3], and they were popularized by Meijer, Fokkinga and Paterson[4][5].
The name comes from the Greek 'κατα-' meaning "downward or according to". A
useful mnemonic is to think of a catastrophe destroying something.
