Answers:

The are only called hushpuppies, but you could call them catfish balls, crab balls, etc. depending on what they are filled with. If you don't put any meat in them you could call them quick breads.
Here is the story on how they got their name:
The name Hush Puppies came from slave days. When the maid would be taking fresh biscuits or cornbread from the kitchen, which was always built away from the main house, the dogs would be running and jumping and trying to get a taste. You would say, "Hush up little puppy, Hush puppy."
