I would have assumed that since the first game takes place within a mansion, it is referring to the evil which resides in it. As for the reason for the name...
"When Capcom was getting ready to release Biohazard in the United States, a DOS-based video game and a punk band named Biohazard could have been hurdles for acquiring rights to this name. Chris Kramer at Capcom claims marketing held a company-wide contest in which Resident Evil was selected as the best fit."
