Quote Wikipedia.

In 1959, Sukornyk initially chose the name Humphrey's instead of Harvey's. In the process of ordering the first vertical sign from E.L. Rudy, however, he discovered that the cost was too much, and so decided to shorten the name. He chose the name Harvey's, after Doug Harvey, the Montreal Canadiens' defenceman. He thought that when locations were eventually opened and franchised in Quebec, the name would be well accepted.
