The creation of the hostname is described in rend-spec, the Tor Rendezvous Specification. The name is build from the public key of the service. First this key gets hashed with SHA-1. The first 80 bits of the output are encoded with Base32 (see RFC 4648 for a description). The result is the hostname of your hidden service.
