There are many sayings asto why he became known as Abu Haneefa. The best one I like is which says..

His daughter's name was Haneefa. Once she told him to take up her name for kuniya if she solves a mas'ala which he is unable to solve. Such a mas'ala arose and she did solve it.. Thus he took her name for Kuniya.

There is a book "Imam Abu Hanifa r.a" by M. Kadwa.. very inspiring.. should read it...
