The original developers of this pattern were looking for uses for closures[1], *they* didn't call it anything. I don't know when the name "module pattern" was coined, possibly later when Douglas Crockfor became aware of the pattern. The first reference I can find to the module pattern on clj is in September 2007, many years after it was originally developed. 1.
