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 defined to be a bond that is sufficiently lopsided that one set of atoms has all of the electrons donated to them by another set of atoms. However, there is no such a thing as a purely ionic bond! Even crystals made of ions have partial covalent character in the bonds or interactions between atoms making up the crystals.
