According to 'The Spanish Heritage' by Alicia Rios & Lourdes March, Paellas
are named for the pan, (from the Roman Patella as Thomas mentioned) but the
dish is possibly a descendant of the rice dishes of muslim andalusia.
Originally called 'arroz a la valenciana', the name fairly quickly changed
to 'Paella valenciana'.
a quick look through Scullys translatin of the neapolitan recipe collection
reveals no paella like dishes either.
