Actually, Chrome is named for the interface. It's meant to be ironic because the point of Chrome is reducing the browsers chrome making more room for the Web page.
The name Chromium was playing on the fact that it's the metal used in chrome plating. (Just as the Chromium Project is used in making the browser Chrome.)
