No, he really did invent the flush toilet. It's not that surprising; people starting calling the toilet "the crapper" because he invented it. The word did not exist before his invention. It wasn't like the word already existed, and by some hilarious coincidence a guy named Crapper just happened to invent something that you, um...crap in.
Besides, if the terms "crap" and "the crapper" had already existed, don't you think the Crapper family would have long since changed their name to something else? Crapport, maybe?
