Why are they called sperm whales?

I learned why they are called that (because the spermaceti oil) from reading Heart of the Sea, a famous story about some nantucket whalers who got lost at sea. Great book. (based on the story that inspired moby dick, although this book is more accurate reg. actual events.)
