Dudhsagar literally means the ocean of milk. Here is the story that tells us how it got the name.

The legend is that there was a lake in the western ghats. This is where a princess used to come for bathing every day with her friends. After the bath, they used to drink milk – as much as a jug of milk. One fine day as they were playing in the lake a young man passed by. He stopped to look at the maidens in water. The maidens to save their dignity poured the milk in a way that it created a curtain of milk.

It is believed that since then the waterfall is flowing creating a curtain of milk.

I am not sure about the story, but I can tell you that once you have heard the story the waterfall does look a wee bit milkier in appearance.
