Name for the bucket used for ashes for wood stoves? HIstory?

My son recently had a wood burner insert installed in his fire place. I got him a metal bucket with a lid to put the ashes in. There is a formal name for this device. I need your help.

Also seeking history of said bucket.

It's called a coal hod. Originally used for carrying coal.
