Cthulhu comes from H.P. Lovecraft's imagination. Is a God who lies in the deep of sea, awaiting... Bla, bla, bla. If you never had read anything from Lovecraft, then you 're missing one of the horror genius of all the time, just like Poe. Chtulhu comes from the Chtulu saga: several narrations about cosmic horror, f.e. "Tha call of Chtulhu" or "The Shadow over Insmouth" (sorry, i don't remember the english titles of all of his books). He create The Necronomicon, very famous in the metal world, in addition, maybe he brings the name to Morbid Angel's guitarrist.
I really think you need to find some of his work.

Cthulhu (Ktulu) is a large green being which resembles a human with the head of a squid, huge bat-wings, and long talons (true, that doesn't really resemble a human, but bear with me here). According to H. P. Lovecraft's story "The Call of Cthulhu", Cthulhu rests in a tomb in the city of R'lyeh, which sank beneath the Pacific Ocean aeons ago. Cthulhu is dead but not truly dead, as he and his fellow inhabitants of R'lyeh sleep the aeons away. (Cthulhu is generally thought of as a "he" for some reason.) From time to time R'lyeh comes to the surface, and Cthulhu's dreams influence sensitive individuals across the globe to depict his image, slay, and found cults dedicated to him. In the past, R'lyeh has sunk after a short time, but the day will soon come when it rises to the surface permanently and great Cthulhu strides across a world thrown into chaos and anarchy from his telepathic sendings.
