Musical Notes?

I was wondering how they (historically) arrived at naming things like A, then A sharp, and B, then C... etc. It seems so arbitrary. Also, why did they start to tune A to 440 Hz? Also... is it all just coincidental that these particular notes correspond to certain ear 'colours' or w/e that is associated with Perfect Pitch?
