Because 'Metal Arm and Leg Guy' didn't quite have the same ring to it. Seriously though, it’s due to his metal limbs.

They call him the Fullmetal Alchemist since he's got automail limbs and a heart full of determination—or maybe just full of metal.

Fullmetal Alchemist is basically Ed’s cool nickname tied to his metal prosthetics. Who wouldn’t want a nickname with 'Fullmetal' in it?

It’s because Edward Elric uses metal prosthetics called 'automail'—makes him sound way cooler, right?
