There are several competing theories actually...
From creta, Latin for chalk, because of the pallor of those affected.
From "Crete", where iodine insufficiency (hypothyroidism) was common prior to the modern era.
From cretira, Grisson-Romance creature, from Latin creatus.
From cretine, French for alluvium (soil deposited by flowing water), an allusion to the affliction's suspected origin in inadequate soil.
