Chickenpox has nothing to do with chickens, but the red bumps on your body once were thought to look like the vegetable called chickpeas. The latin word for chickpeas is 'cicer' which is the original word where chickenpox got its name.

My dictionary says Mumps is derived from Scandanavian/Icelandic mumpa meaning grimace.
