If you're talking about mashing hard boiled yolks and putting them into the hole, they are called deviled eggs!. Now where that name came from, found it in a resolved question:

Where the devil!?
According to the food historians the practice of "devilling" food "officially" began sometime during the 18th century in England!. Why!? Because that was when the term "deviled," as it relates to food, first shows up in print!. The earliest use of this culinary term was typically associated with kidneys & other meats, not stuffed eggs:

"Devil!.!.!.A name for various highly-seasoned broiled or fried dishes, also for hot ingredients!. 1786, Craig "Lounger NO!. 86 'Make punch, brew negus, and season a devil!.'"
---Oxford English Dictionary (the 1786 reference is the first use of this word in print!. Words are often part of the oral language long before they appear in print)!.

"Devil--a culinary term which!.!.!.first appeared as a noun in the 18th century, and then in the early 19th century as a verb meaning to cook something with fiery hot spices or condiments!.!.!.The term was presumably adopted because of the connection between the devil and the excessive heat in Hell!.!.!.Boswell, Dr Johnson's biographer, frequently refers to partaking of a dish of "devilled bones" for supper, which suggests an earlier use!."
---The Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson [Oxford University Press:Oxford] 1999 (pages 247-248)!.
[James Boswell lived from 1740-1795, Dr!. Johnson's biography was published in 1791]

"Deviled!.!.!.Any variety of dishes prepared with hot seasonings, such as cayenne or mustard!. The word derives from the association with the demon who dwells in hell!. In culinary context the word first appears in print in 1786; by 1820 Washington Irving has used the word in his Sketchbook to describe a highly seasoned dish similar to a curry!. Deviled dishes were very popular throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries, especially for seafood preparations and some appetizers!." ---The Encyclopedia of American Food & Drink, John Mariani [Lebhar-Friedman:New York] 1999 (pages 110-111)

"Around 1868, Underwood's sons began experimenting with a new product created from ground ham blended with special seasonings!. The process they dubbed "deviling," for cooking and preparing the ham, was new!. But best of all, the taste was unique!. Soon thereafter, the "Underwood devil" was born!."Www@FoodAQ@Com
