Answer:
I believe that origin of this strain of the herpes virus is still unknown. The theories listed on the Wikipedia Site were very interesting to read, but this is not what we learned in our studies. No one really knows where the herpes family of viruses came from and why Chicken Pox usually effects children prior to puberty. This suggests that hormones might activate the virus that some people are born with. I have not had the Chicken Pox though I nursed my 7 siblings through it.
Good question. I had to go look this one up. Wikipedia is your friend!

The whole history is there. Cool stuff.
The origin of chicken pox has been lost in the antiquity of early civilized humankind along with other infectious diseases of childhood. It is the blisters that gives chicken pox it's name. No, chicken pox does not come from a chicken! Rather, the red spots were once thought to look like chick peas on the skin. Chicken pox got its name from cicer, which is the Latin word for chick peas.
