Ionic comes from ion as you might have guessed. An ion is a charged particle (either positive or negative), and ionic is the adjective meaning charged. An ionic bond is a chemical bond based on electrostatic attraction (the attraction of charges), and we generally associate it with the bonding of metals to non-metals.
An ionic bond is a chemical bond between two dissimilar (i.e. a metal and a non-metal) atoms in which one atom gives up an electron to another. Hence both atoms become ions as one atom has one electron less, while the other has an extra. The metal ion which lost an electron has a positive charge.
