It's called Dr. Stone because Senku, the main character, is a scientific genius who essentially 'heals' the world from its stone age-like state after everyone gets petrified.
The title Dr. Stone is a clever play, combining the idea of 'doctor' (someone who fixes things) with 'stone' (hinting at the petrification event).
Because 'Science Guy Who Saves From Stones' was too long!
Basically, Senku is like a doctor for society and the 'stone' part refers to the petrified state everyone is in. Cool, right?
