Sounds like the word came first, then the cymbals, then the word-as-name. It's not a Crapper situation where cymbals are named after this guy

  "Crapper" as slang for a toilet has an attestation from before Thomas Crapper was a plumber, so if that's what you were referring to, then it's also not a case where it was named after the guy.
