AFAIK, disks are not named, but partitions are. When you create a filesystem you can assign a label, or do it later. Disks are named - sda, sdb, sdc etc. They have a name based on the time the bios sees them first. Actually, they're are given device names when they are discovered - for instance when you plug them in (USB etc), or when the driver is loaded (SCSI etc).
They are not "named" used as an action verb, you can not name a disk as sda if you so wish. You're right, "you" cannot name them, but the kernel can and does.
