This makes me smile… My first reaction to the name was the same as Alexander’s and then my second reaction cut in: “No, they’ll have thought about the name and won’t entertain changes” 😊
It’s for safely doing requires in asynchronous (multi-threaded) code.

Before I've seen the patch, my initial impression was that it loads namespaces asynchronously (that is, returns control immediately and loads them in the background). It might be somewhat confusing that a function async-require is actually even more synchronous than the regular require :). How about synchronized-require (it's basically word-to-word description of the function body)? Otherwise, thanks for this one, I needed something like this plenty of times!
