Melchizedek was the King of Salem and a very righteous high priest during the time. The reason that we named the Melchizedek Priesthood after him is out of reverence for the Savior's name.
He was a strong man of faith and worked many miracles and was chosen to lead the city of Salem and because of his righteousness as a leader his people waxed strong in righteousness as well. He was called the prince of peace in his time and I personally think he was a type and a shadow of Christ during that time. He lead the people in righteousness and did a lot of the things that Christ did.
