Here is an extract from the Wikipedia entry:

The term will-o'-the-wisp comes from wisp, a bundle of sticks or paper sometimes used as a torch, and the name Will—thus, "Will of the wisp (or torch)". The term Jack-o-lantern ("Jack of the lantern") was originally synonymous with will-o'-the-wisp. In fact, the names Jacky Lantern and Jack the Lantern are still present in the oral tradition of Newfoundland
