That is a good question. I've searched in the past looking old system
passwd to find who decided this name for the root account but with no
luck.

Looks like "Charlie &" is a tribute to Charlie Root (a famous baseball
player):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Root

Does someone remember who, when and why?

Regards.
