Before that room had a name it was called the 'water closet' It was usually built, sometimes without walls, in the kitchen next to all the plumbing and drains. People would add curtains or walls around it and it became the water closet.
There is no bathing in there so.. ? rest room? Or, named after the famous guy involved in inventing it, John Crapper. Going to the 'john' or the 'crapper'.
Ships call it the 'head'. I call it whatever pops out of mouth.
