Etymology
Catfish for a person who makes a fake online identity became popular after the 2010 film 'Catfish', where people told an old story about real catfish used on ships to keep other fish lively; a helpful way to remember this is to think of someone who keeps others guessing by pretending to be someone else. So a catfish online is someone who tricks people with a fake profile.
